mung bean fettuccine with creamy garlic cashew sauce
So, I'm up late doing school work.. specifically on a sweet design project, if you must know - and I realized it was 10 and I hadn't eaten dinner! I kind of love when that happens.. because it makes me feel like I'm getting sucked into the design.. but at the same time, I can't just pop a bag of **&@%^$ in the microwave (of which I don't even own) and nourish myself. So I needed something fast and filling.. something that wasn't going to take a lot of peeling and slicing and waiting. (ironic.. because here I am blogging.. but ANYway) I made myself some fettuccine with cream sauce tonight, and it felt almost like regular person food. (I'm not saying regular is good.. who wants to be regular!?)
I had a bag of Organic Mung Bean Fettuccine on hand.. that I bought one extra curious trip to the market, and I made the sauce out of leftover cashew gravy (from last week), olive oil, and garlic.
While the water was boiling then simmering the noodles (the package serves 4.. so I only made a 1/4), I sauteed three cloves of garlic (yes this is for one serving) in a couple teaspoons of olive oil for a minute, then added a couple tablespoons of the pre-made cashew gravy. The gravy was pretty thick, so I added some water to the pan, and simmered down until it was the thickness I wanted.
And yeay! I enjoyed.. I hope you enjoy too. Now back to work.
hi:) my name is anna, and i live in an attic in missouri. welcome to my experimental kitchen, where i nourish myself with egg-free, dairy-free, wheat-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, and corn-free meals and treats. enjoy poking around, using the recipes and making them your own. have fun!
I use organic ingredients in all my recipes. . and I think you should do the same. It's a tough issue to commit to - but if you think about it, seriously. . we're all spending the same amount of money. Some people pay upfront for healthy ingredients and planet friendly practices, and others pay for it in medical bills and environmental clean up later.
