If you are looking for comfort food in a hurry, this is it. Toss all your sauce ingredients into a blender, cook your pasta and thaw out your peas. Mix it all together, serve it right away or  bake it. How easy is that? And did I mention, oh sooo delicious?

 Serves 4

Prep time: 20 minutes (need baked sweet potato)

Ingredients

12 oz. of whole grain pasta (I used about ¾ package of elbows)

1 cup of peas, frozen, thawed

1 batch of Un-Cheeze Sauce

Smoked paprika for sprinkling (optional)

Extra nutritional yeast for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 F
• Make 1 batch of Un-Cheeze sauce

Variation

• If you have a high-speed blender, continue blending the Un-Cheeze sauce until nice and warm (approx.2-3) minutes.
• Cook your pasta, drain and return to pot, along with the peas
• Add the warm sauce, stir to mix well and serve immediately.
• If you like, you can sprinkle a little fresh, chopped parsley on each serving
