“But Rose, they all look the same?”
I know, I know! These might all look the same but I promise you, they all taste slightly different because they have different main ingredients (just look at my friend Daniel guessing all the ingredients wrong LOL)~
I wanted to do a video showing you guys different ways of making a vegan CREAMY pasta. It’s so crazy how you can make a creamy plant-based pasta in so many ways~ There’s no need to have dairy when you can make a creamy alfredo out of… PLANTS!
