1. Lunch Recipe: Pasta with green beans and sun-dried tomatoes

I start my blog with a guaranteed successfull vegalien dish: Pasta with green beans and sun-dried tomatoes. It's an absolutely easy, mouth-watring pasta-dish, only consisting of a few ingredients. 

 

You'll need:
  • vegetable oil (I prefer rape-oil)
  • green beans
  • sun-dried tomatoes
  • cashews
  • pasta, preferably ribbon noodles or spaghettis
  • chili-spice
  • pepper
  • paprika spice
  • basil and/or nutritional yeast

I usually take ca. 400 g of green beans, about half a package of spaghettis, half a can of cashews and a package of 150 g sun-dried tomatoes for 3 persons. 
As a student living alone just cook half of the amount.
The measurements are a matter of taste: you can easily change the measurements to add more green beans or more noodles. I'd be careful not to add too many noodles, as it can easily become too dry.

  1. Boil the pasta together with the green beans in a pot. First boil the beans for about 10 min, then add the pasta and boil for another 8-10 min.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and roast the cashews in it. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and fry them together with the cashews. Add chilli-spice, pepper and paprika spice.
  3. Mix the pasta and the beans with the tomatoes and cashews and stir thoroughly.
  4. Now sprinkle with basil and/or nutritional yeast.

Done. Yummy, easy and really delicious. And totally vegalien.
This blog is going to be filled with a lot more easy vegan recipes for students and articles about vegalien and not so vegalien life.
