Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes

- •If you want a little extra creaminess, a dollop of cashew cream or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top is amazing!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add sautéed bell peppers and onions for a bit more crunch and flavor.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in some roasted pumpkin seeds for a nice crunch!
