My own plant-based (or close to) recipes

I've been experimenting in the kitchen a bit, here are some recipes that turned out yummy that are plant-based or at least close to (we are still working on replacing all of our food supply with plant-based substitutes).

"Butter" Sauce Pasta with Tofu, Mushrooms, and Squash

  • Boil desired pasta until tender
    • For the last few minutes throw in some sliced squash to boil
  • Meanwhile, saute some mushrooms and brown cubes of tofu in olive oil, garlic, and onion.
    • Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and any other spices to taste.
  • Once everything is cooked, top the pasta with the veggies and tofu.
    • Add a tiny bit of olive oil if needed (you may need to add more spices if you do).
  • Enjoy!

Hummus Wrap=nummy!

Take a tortilla (flavored taste even better) and then in any order add:
  • Hummus (I like to make my own out of garbanzo beans/chick peas)
  • Mushroom (the hummus and mushroom combination kind of give it an egg taste!)
  • Lots of greens (I especially like spinach)
  • Anything else like tomatoes, avocado, salsa, carrots, etc.

White Sauce
  • Melt 2 tbs butter (or substitute) over low heat
  • Blend in 2 tbs flour
  • Add 1 cup of milk (almond, soy, your preference) all at once
  • Cook until thickened
  • Add spices (up to 1/4 tsp salt, garlic, parm, etc.)
  • Remove from heat and top over your favorite pasta or use as a dipping sauce

White Sauce Pasta with Tofu and Squash
  • Boil desired pasta until tender
    • For the last few minutes throw in some sliced squash to boil

  • Top with Italian bread crumbs
