How To Prepare Easy Vegan Rotini Pasta Recipe
To prepare this Easy Vegan Rotini Pasta Recipe, I cooked brown rice rotini according to the package directions, drained it, tossed with olive oil and set it aside. In the meantime, I cook onions, garlic with Italian seasonings. Use a plant-based meatless ground meat substitute or Tofu Crumbles.
You can also substitute with cooked lentils or your favorite protein here, I then stirred in pasta sauce, followed by cooked pasta and vegan cheese. For the cheese, I used DAIYA SHREDS, but you can also substitute with my CHEESE SAUCE recipe in my vegan mac and cheese recipe. This is so easy to prepare and it will be a huge hit with your family!

Quick and yummy… made it with lentils

I notice that this does not say “gluten free.” Would the beefless grounds have gluten in them? What would work as a replacement?
The beefless grounds are gluten free. It says it in the ingredients section
😊
If, they aren’t, been such a long time since I used them, the only questionable ingredient if I’m correct is probably barley, I can’t remember. You can always use Beyond Ground, they are definitely gluten-free.
