Is there an alternative for nutritional yeast? It does not need to be vegan for my needs.

parmesan should work

I have made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! It's sooooo delicious and you'd never know it's a one pot dish! My non-vegan family members love it!

My boyfriend and I tried this recipe last night and LOVED it! He is dairy-free and it's always been a struggle when I'm craving some creamy pasta, and this recipe is seriously the perfect solution. I can't believe something with such clean ingredients could taste like such a comfort food. We prefer chickpea pasta and saw the note about not using other pasta, so we just made the pasta separately and omitted the 2.5 cups of water from the ingredients list. Can't wait to make it again!

Love this!! I make it all the time and it’s delicious every time. My only qualm is that it’s not high in protein, but it’s easy to add some lentils and extra water to fix that!
