We’ve all been there before, craving something warm and comforting that will stick to our tummies for a while. In this situation, making a batch of vegan zucchini pasta is the answer (I mean, it is probably the answer to all of our cravings).
Not only is this recipe vegan, but it is gluten-free, wheat-free, and pretty much free of everything except for being delicious. Oh, and it’s super easy to make. I make the tomato sauce from scratch, but you could cut corners and buy Passata sauce which is purely just pureed tomatoes with about .5 mg of salt added.
