Carrot Noodle Pastas

This Vegan Chickpea Bolognese Pasta Features Unusual Carrot Noodles

— October 18, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you're looking for a new vegan recipe to try, indulge in Chickpea Bolognese with carrot noodles. This unusual dish refashions an Italian favorite to suit the vegan community.

Posted on the Minimalist Baker food blog, this recipe is a super easy plant-based meal filled with color, flavor and essential nutrients. While the usual bolognese sauce is mixed with meat, this vegan dish utilizes chickpeas for the same amount of protein. The sauce is also topped with vegan Parmesan cheese, fresh oregano, and a tablespoon of cane or coconut sugar. This delicious sauce sits atop a bed of carrot noodles which also makes this remixed dish gluten-free.

While the usual bolognese spaghetti is well-received, try this vegan dish to add color and excitement to your next meal.
