    Pasta al Limone

    Pasta al Limone

    Protip: add a little bit of the water the pasta has cooked in when you’re combining everything. The lemon and oil will stick much better. This is also delicious cold.

    Corn and Israeli Couscous Salad

    Excellent for taking to the potluck where everyone forgets you’re vegan.
