Though we no longer indulge in spaghetti dinners around here, I have gotten really into using my spiralizer to make vegetable noodles. Zucchini, sweet potato, and celeriac all make really great noodle substitutes. I also love using 'spaghetti sauce' as a way of using up extra veggies like carrots and beets (I use them instead of tomatoes). Of course you can't have a plate of fake spaghetti with fake sauce without some fake parmesan! Many years ago when I first tried nutritional yeast I hated it, but like most things that are healthy, I learned to love it. Nutritional yeast has a flavor REMINISCENT of cheese and is full of healthy B vitamins. I paired it with protein packed hemp seeds for even more nutrition. I keep a jar of this in the fridge for sprinkling over my eggs and of course for fake spaghetti night!
Protein Parmesan
Gluten Free, Vegan
Makes about 1/2 cup
1/4 cup + 2 tbl Hemp seeds
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
pinch sea salt
- Combine the ingredients in a food processor or bullet type blender and pulse to combine.
- Taste and adjust ratio to your liking.
- Store in a jar in the fridge.
Notes and Substitutions
- You can add other seasonings like garlic powder or lemon rind to change the flavor.
- I like the protein and nutty flavor of the hemp seeds but you can use other nuts or seeds. Cashews make an even more authentic tasting parmesan.
