Vegan Tempeh Carbonara

A vegan twist on the classic Italian dish, this tempeh carbonara is creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the crumbled tempeh and cook until it's browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute.
In a separate pot, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions.
While the spaghetti is cooking, add the vegan cream and nutritional yeast to the skillet with the tempeh and garlic. Stir well to combine.
Drain the spaghetti, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the vegan tempeh carbonara garnished with fresh parsley.
