Are you looking for a go-to weeknight pasta dinner recipe that is both family friendly and easy to prepare? This is The Best Creamy Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce that is sure to be a hit with the whole family. It takes minutes to throw together and is a great way to add lots of veggies into your meal. My favourite way to eat it is with whole wheat spaghetti, but any type of pasta would work. If you’re not familiar with nutritional yeast, it’s a deactivated yeast that adds an amazing cheesy flavour to anything you add it into. It’s loaded with nutrients such as protein, fibre, and B vitamins. If you don’t have any on hand, parmesan cheese would work as a great substitute. This recipe also freezes really well, so it’s a great make-ahead dinner you can quickly defrost and pour over pasta.
