How To Make Butter Noodles (Vegan)
Start making your vegan butter noodles by taking a large pot, bringing plenty of water to a boil and cooking your noodles/pasta according to instructions.
Heat around 2 tbsp of vegan butter on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add in minced garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Once pasta is cooked al dente, save around 1/2 cup of the pasta water and add the pasta into the pan.
Add the rest of the vegan butter, a splash of the pasta water, salt to taste and a pinch of crushed chilli flakes (optional). Add in garlic powder if you want this extra garlicky.
Feel free to add any other ingredients to your pasta like plant-based protein as well as top your noodles with fresh parsley, crushed chilli flakes and/or vegan parmesan.
