Vegan Spaghetti Primavera
On a lovely Saturday evening I decided to have some friends over for dinner. I thought since it was such a beautiful day that I would make a nice light pasta full of vibrant colors and distinguished flavors. Being the experimental cook that I am, I therefore tried my hand in making a vegan dish; which I nailed by the way ;) and I gotta say it was absolutely delicious! I recommend this dish to anyone who loves pasta but doesn't want the heaviness of your traditional pasta. If you're like me and love trying new things then I suggest you try out this recipes I created with a few friends. Trust me, you're gonna love it! I guarantee it.
