Looking for a super easy main course or side dish that is oozing with warmth and comfort-food appeal? Try this Quickie Lemon-Cajun Spiced Pasta. Vibrant lemon and cajun spice flavors coat the fluffy spirals of veggie-colored pasta. A splash of EVOO and a secret ingredient too!..

Secret Ingredient. If you have not yet tried nutritional yeast on your pasta what are you waiting for? This stuff is amazing. It adds a bold cheezy flavor without any of the unhealthy cheese things like saturated fat. Plus it even has a very nice array of healthy nutrients thus the name..

You could also try this non-dairy cheese sprinkle recipe. SO delicious and savory + healthy!
