Well those garlic knots we made recently + the rainy day really made us crave an Italian night in so that’s just what we did.
In my opinion, Italian makes the best comfort food. Hearty, filling + delicious!
Using the tastiest Gluten-Free, Vegan Alfredo Sauce and assorted vegetables we had in our fridge, we chowed down on warm, savory pasta while sitting on the couch in our pajamas.
The crunch of the broccoli is a perfect contradiction to the creaminess of the sauce.
Now the eating on the couch in your pajamas is optional, but highly recommended. Especially if it’s on a dreary, chilly rain-filled evening.
So let’s recap: Guilt-free, vegan alfredo sauce Flavorful mushrooms Crunchy broccoli Savory Sun-dried tomatoes Pasta…need I say more?
Okay, just one more—pajamas!
Now that you’re sold on this for dinner, make sure to tag #heystudioist so I can admire your work!
A quick note from LeBraun: Breadsticks (or Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Garlic Knots) are the perfect accompaniment!
