Quick Comfort Food: Nooch Noodles

Holiday shopping can be exhausting! By the time you get home from a long day of work (and from workin' your credit card at the mall), the last thing you want to do is stand over a stove for an hour. Also, it's cold outside!! You want something that will stick to your ribs. 

Salad? Naw!

How about a creamy pasta dish that mimics Alfredo noodles? Sign me up for vegan and gluten-free nooch noodles, please! 

The vegan community loves nooch (short for nutritional yeast). It is a powdery inactive yeast that smells cheesy but packs a colossal boost of B12. Everyone can benefit from more of this central nervous system protecting vitamin, so this dish is a must-try! 

Here's what you'll need:
​

​1. Earth Balance (2 tablespoons) 
2. Nutritional Yeast - Nooch (1/2 cup)
3. Almond Milk (1/2 cup)
4. Veggie Broth (1/2 cup)
5. Bay Leaf (2 leaves)
6. Herbes de Provence (1 tablespoon)
7. Granulated Garlic (2 teaspoons)
8. Black Pepper (1 teaspoon)
9. Pink Himalayan Salt (2 teaspoons) 
10. Parsley (1 tablespoon) 
11. Crushed Red Pepper (optional - 1 teaspoon) 
​12. Gluten Free Pasta

Cook pasta with bay leaves as directed. Drain and rinse pasta in cold water. Remove the bay leaves and add in the ingredients above and BAM BAM TAM - yummy, quick and comforting nooch noodles!
