Creamy Pasta Recipe and Review

23rd October 2020 by Charlotte Bates Leave a Comment

🧀REVIEW OF @goodcarmafoods GARLIC SPREADABLE CHEESE!🧀

❤️AD – PR Sample / Gifted (review at the end of the post)

I received a tub of Garlic & Chive vegan cheese from Good Carma Foods today along with some of their vegan garlic Parmesan and decided to adapt one of the recipes they sent to try it out!

The sauce is made of:
https://goodcarmafoods.com/shop/spread-sensation/spread-sensation-garlic-and-chive/1/2 Tub Garlic & Chive Cheese – £2.22
Oat Milk – 20p
Corn Flour – 5p
1/2 Onion – 8p
3/4 Pepper – 21p
Olive Oil – 1p
Mustard – 1p

Total sauce costs – £2.78

Method:
1. Chop up the onion and pepper and fry in the oil.
2. Add the half tub cheese.
3. Add the oat milk.
Add the mustard.
4. Add the corn flour.
5. Simmer and stir until a thick sauce is made.

Fast Review:
⭐️2 tubs for £8.90 (£4.45 each, I used half a tub so would be £2.22 for this dish!)
⭐️Vegan owner and company
⭐️Creamy base for pasta sauces
⭐️Subtle garlic – not overly strong which is great for these dishes!
⭐️Very versatile – can be eaten cold or hot!
⭐️Independent U.K. company
⭐️Not suitable for people with but allergies (made from cashews)
⭐️ Can be bought via their page or on their website: www.goodcarmafoods.com

I really enjoyed this! The sauce was so creamy and rich with a hint of garlic – it felt very decadent and like a dish I’d find in a restaurant! Definitely an elevated version of my everyday pasta but it was so easy to make – highly recommend! I’ll try it in some other dishes and let you know any other perfect recipes for this!

Lunch cost –
Sauce £2.78
Pasta – 10p
Beans – 20p

Total – £3.08

Garlic Mushroom & Fennel Risotto

7th July 2020 by Charlotte Bates Leave a Comment

Garlic Mushroom & Fennel Risotto 🍄

Chop some mushrooms and chuck in a pan with a little oil and a generous teaspoon of fennel seeds. 🥄

Cook for a few mins while you slice up some fresh garlic, add this to the pan with some dried chillis if you like spicing things up 🌶

Drain a tin of @napolina Spelt and add to the pan. 🌱 chuck a few peas in too if you like them 😋

Make up a stock (half a litre) with your favourite stock powder – I use @marigoldengevita – then add it to the pan a third at a time allowing it to absorb each time. 🧑🏻‍🍳 Finally add a couple of large spoons of our Flavour Fusion Garlic https://goodcarmafoods.com/shop/flavour-fusion/garlic/ . Stir and serve! 🍽

Thanks to @showthevegan for this post!
