Cheesy Casarecce Pasta with Zucchini

Cheesy Casarecce Pasta with Zucchini

This Cheesy Casarecce pasta with Zucchini is a scrumptious yummy dish. The vegan cheesy sauce makes this dish a hit! When you add the zucchini it really elevates the dish. Cutting them lengthwise into strips helps to absorb maximum flavor. I used almond milk and nutritional yeast to make it cheesy and yummy. This is a hearty plant based and dairy free dish, a treat for my vegan foodies.

Dairy or dairy free? That’s the question

From age 8-14, I struggled with asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis. I would have a violent attack every year. It was so bad that I would have to go to the hospital for nebulizer treatments. (That was back in the day when they didn’t send you home with the nebulizer). My mother was so worried because some of the medication was so strong that it would make me shake.

Please step away from the cheese!

One year it was so bad that I had to be admitted to the ICU. The Attending doctor made it very clear that I should not consume any dairy products ever again! He was very adamant and of course when I was discharged I had my favorite pistachio ice cream only to suffer the consequences afterwards.

Eventually I stopped eating all dairy. At that time they did not have as many alternatives as they do today. Most of the alternatives were disgusting. I wanted ice cream, sauces and foods that tasted like the real thing.

This vegan cheesy sauce definitely tastes like the real thing. I think even better! It makes me feel like I’m not missing a thing!
