Ingredients

Pasta

  • 12 oz. whole wheat spaghetti
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes de-stemmed and cut in half
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 ½ cups vegan broth or stock choose one without oil and / or sugar

Walnut Parmesan

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

To make the pasta:

  • Place all of the pasta ingredients into a pot (make sure that the pasta lays flat. If the pasta is longer than your pot, simply break the pasta in half).
  • Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer for 9-13 minutes (after the pasta comes to a boil) uncovered. Liquid should be absorbed but not completely.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and top with Walnut Parmesan when serving.

To make the walnut parmesan:

  • Place all of the ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until there are no more big chunks of walnuts.
  • Place pasta in a bowl and top with some chopped fresh basil and walnut parmesan.

    I’ve only recently decided to go vegetarian but I’m now trying to find substitutes for my one weakness which is cheese. I’m so happy that I can have parmesan now and I’m going to try and make your cashew cheese this weekend!

    I love this walnut cheese!!! And the cashew cheese!!! I honestly have these on hand at all times and get so many compliments from folks who try both cheeses. Molly, I do remember reading in one of your posts that you were thinking of compiling a vegan cheese bible or something, is that on the website or is it still a work in progress?

    As always, thanks for all of your support and care and concern for our bodies, you’re the tops!

      Hey Sarah –
      I was thinking of doing a cheese book, but got distracted with creating my 5 Week Plant Based Reset.
      Honestly – Miyoko Schinner is the queen of vegan cheese.
      Thank you for the kind words!
