We often eat spaghetti, but mostly with tomato sauce. One day my better half requested carbonara, so I had to work the magic. This is what I came up with, and it is brilliant, if I may say so.
The recipe is easy but it does require a little bit of coordination, due to the three hotplates on which different actions take place.
Plus you need a whisk.
These are all the ingredients you need for a two person meal:
Spaghetti:
400 grams of spaghetti
salted water
Tofu cubes:
200 grams of tofu
fried chicken seasoning
herbs of Provence
garlic spice
curcuma
pepper
Carbonara sauce:
2 tbsp plant oil
2 tbsp flour
300 ml vegetable broth (prepare as directed on the box)
salt
garlic spice
pepper
500 ml Almond milk without sugar
2 tbsp creamy coconut milk from a can
Bit of lemon juice or lemon concentrate
2-3 tsp nutritional yeast flakes
herbs of Provence
Instructions:
- Cut the tofu into small cubes and season it with the recommended spices and fry it in the pan until it’s gold brown and a little bit crispy.
- Put oil, vegetable broth and the recommended spices into a pot and heat it. Stir quickly with a whisk until all the lumps are gone. Heat, stir and add almond milk until the sauce is nice and creamy.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the sauce and stir regularly. Taste the sauce to make sure you’re not overdoing it with the spices.
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente.
It takes me about 40 minutes to cook these spaghetti carbonara and every single minute is worth it. My better half goes on and on about how delicious these are, every time I serve them for dinner. And he’s not usually so generous with his compliments, haha.
The recipe is reminiscent of cheese sauce, which comes from the coconut-yeast-mixture, but not in an overbearing way. It’s more of a mild, slightly cheesy flavor that even I like and I usually hate cheese flavors. This recipe is really something special, I highly recommend you try it out.
If you do try it out I would love you to reach out and tell me what you think of it.
Until next time.
Aloha.
