NOODLES WITH CREAMY TOMATO

HEMP SAUCE

THIS IS VEGAN FAST FOOD FOR THE WHEN YOU NEED HEALTHY FOOD FAST

I made this last night, totally cheating with ready made sauce and dip. And I was amazed how good it was. I recently discovered hemp seeds and try to use them often due to their high iron content. I mixed in about 20 grams of vegan cheese which gives it the creaminess. And lots of fresh basil. YUMM!

This recipe makes 1 portion.

CHOP BASIL

I know some people will cry that I chop the basil with a knife, but I did not have time to shred this much basil by hand (too hungry...)
roll the leaves up and chop it
tasted great to me :)

STIR TO DISSOLVE CHEESE

stir the sauce until the vegan cheese is melted into the sauce

THROW NOODLES INTO PAN

cook rice noodles to your liking and rinse under cool water to get rid of the starches
if you like gf pasta, it would work too
I can't get used to gf pasta and always eat rice noodles instead
strain noodles and add them to the pan to mix and re-heat
