    Sometimes making a creamy, comforting dish doesn't have to be overly complicated. By combining some strategic simple ingredients you can get an amazing meal that tastes rich and flavorful without costing you too much time in the kitchen.

    And this Vegan Black Pepper Parmesan Spaghetti (or Cacio e Pepe) is that recipe. This requires 7 ingredients, 20 minutes and 1 pot. Can't get any easier than that, right?

    If you've never dabbled in vegan parmesan, I suggest you try it immediately! I personally don't think nutritional yeast tastes anything like cheese, so it doesn't make the cut for me. BUT, GoVeggie makes a parmesan that tastes awesome. I always keep some on hand for pasta or pizza - I get mine at Whole Foods, but if you don't have one nearby, you can order it online here.

    The other ingredients for this recipe are staples that you will probably have on hand. This is a total crowd pleaser - make this for your non-vegan friends. They will be beyond impressed that this cheesy, creamy pasta is dairy free. I promise!

      We don't like parsley, so I didn't add it and when I finished making this, it didn't look like much. BUT, it was delicious!! Very flavorful and super easy to make!!

        Awesome - so glad you liked it. You could also add some fresh basil if you have it on hand.
