Cheated a bit and had this week’s Vegan Thursday on Wednesday so I could blog about it on Thursday. But of course I’ll still be eating vegan today (the real Vegan Thursday), too.
Last night, I tried a new product and resurrected an old fave: Butternut fries!
A big bowl of whole-wheat angel-hair pasta (tossed with spices, a little vegan butter, and a lot of broccoli)
With a side of Butter(nut) Me Up Squash Fries. The fries were just as sweet-n-perfect as always. And I fell head-over-heels for the new product: Gia Russa angel hair pasta. If you’ve tried whole wheat pasta in the past and weren’t a fan of the nutty flavor, run out and buy this! It doesn’t taste like whole wheat pasta at all.
Even more exciting than my dinner was that my mom joined me for the meal. I made her the same dinner as me, and she polished it off.
Actually, I made a few changes because she doesn’t like squash fries. Sacrilege, I know! (She also had a different bowl for her pasta, but I used mine for the photo shoot.
Mmmm…. pasta! And I need to try those fries – they look so good. Have you ever tried Tinkyada brown rice pasta? It’s really good too.
The weather here is gross today too, feels like -32C/-26F. It’s a self-declared ‘wear winter boots and fleece to work day’ today. 🙂
I love butternut squash fries!
I am definitely an angel hair girl too!
Any gluten free pasta works for me!
Stay Warm!
Enjoy!
That is A LOT of brocolli!
I am an Angel Hair girl too! Always loved it.
I just discovered an amazing whole wheat pasta as well: Full Circle organic whole wheat pasta. So good!
I also agree with JCD about the Tinkyada brown rice pasta, I am a fan of it too.
I want to jump on the vegan thursday bandwagon! I’m off to a good start (cereal with almond milk and bananas this morning)
I don’t eat tons of pasta, but when I do it’s usually brown rice rotini or penne.
I live in Fort Worth, and I am totally feeling the cold. Brrr. My car door was frozen shut this morning and the wind was terrible. When it’s this bad, I do my exercise indoors. 🙂
mmm looks great! what spices do you use in your pasta?? i love whole wheat fettuccine… my dad’s favorite though is angel hair! squash fries are amazing too of course. greatmeal – if this doesn’t make more ppl try out veganism i dont know what will 😉 …. fudge babies for dessert perhaps!?
That pasta looks delicious! I am totally craving some broc+pasta!! Mmm! Yay for vegan Thursday!

I just never have really been into pasta. It’s more about the sauce for me, you know?
Yay for Vegan Thursdays!!!
Angel hair pasta at home.
Rotini or penne if I’m eating out.
