Ingredients

  • 200 ml Vegetable cooking cream (sugar-free)
  • 250 g Spaghetti
  • 150 g Vegan bacon
  • 1-2 tsp Kala Namak (Himalayan black salt)
  • 1 tip of a knife turmeric powder
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast in flakes
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable parmesan cheese -facultative-
  • 1 cup Pasta cooking water
  • as needed seeds oil

Instructions

  • Put water on the stove in a pot.
  • Meanwhile, brown the bacon in a skillet with plenty of seed oil and then set aside. See my "vegan bacon" recipe for more details!
  • In a bowl put the cream, kala namak, noble yeast, turmeric powder (a knife tip!),
  • Salt the water for the pasta and throw the pasta into the water that has reached a boil in the meantime. The pasta should cook for only 2-3 minutes.
  • Put the mixture with the cream in a large frying pan and turn the flame on medium heat.
  • Keep a cup of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta. Then put the pasta while still al dente in the pan with the cream and increase the heat.
  • Add the cooking water to the pan gradually with the pasta and cream and allow the pasta to "risotto", stirring occasionally and adding water as needed.
  • When the pasta is cooked and the cream is nice and thick, add the vegetable parmesan (and water if needed)
  • Add 3/4 of the veg bacon and plate the pasta. Place the remaining bacon on top of the pasta.
