Vegan Taco Pasta

Vegan Taco Pasta | Easy, Weeknight Dinner

Vegan Taco Pasta | Easy, Weeknight Meal

The cold weather is settling in and I am all about that comfort food! This vegan taco pasta is perfect for a chilly evening when you need a simple dinner that you can make in 30 minutes or less. Pair it with a side salad or cooked vegetable and you have a complete meal that is high in protein and soooo delicious! Those adorable pasta wheels are from a pasta brand named Banza that recently sent me some of their pasta so I could join in on their Banza Plus 5 campaign. I was excited to try out their pasta since it is made from chickpeas! After using it in a couple recipes, I was impressed by the taste and texture. Plus, since it is made from chickpeas it has twice the protein as traditional pasta as well as up to 13 grams of fiber per 3.5 oz serving. Vegan Taco Pasta | Easy, Weeknight Meal

All you need to recreate this vegan taco pasta at home is 6 ingredients: pasta, oil, ground seitan, salsa, vegan cheese, and taco seasoning. To serve, I added a little bit of green with a couple fresh cilantro leaves and sliced jalapeño.
