Vegetarian Creamy Tom Yum Pasta Food

ONE POT CREAMY VEGGIE PASTA

Steps:

• Add the pasta to a large saucepan, along with the vegetables, milk, veggie stock, and dried herbs. Mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for around 15 minutes, until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened. You'll need to stir regularly, especially when the pasta is nearly cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Remove from the heat, and add the grated cheese and plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well until the cheese has melted to produce a thick, glossy sauce. Serve topped with fresh chives, if desired.

30-MINUTE CREAMY VEGGIE PASTA

Steps:

• Dice the bell pepper and onion into 1-inch cubes. Slice the mushrooms. Set the veggies aside.
• Preheat a deep skillet with butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook them until they soften.
• Add the bell peppers and onions to the skillet and cook them until they soften.
• Cook the pasta in a boiling pot of hot water for about 4 minutes less than the box instructions. Add the partially cooked pasta into the skillet with the veggies.
• Add the heavy whipping cream, pressed garlic, and broccoli to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes.
• Fold in the parmesan cheese and stir until evenly combined.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

TOM YUM SOUP WITH TOFU AND VERMICELLI

Steps:

• Soak the vermicelli in room temperature water for 10 minutes, until they have softened. (Disregard package instructions.) Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, sambal oelek and garlic. Set aside.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the lemongrass, ginger, makrut lime leaves and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes. Discard the lemongrass stalks. Add the tomatoes and tofu, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tofu is warm and the tomatoes have softened.
• Add the sambal oelek mixture, salt and drained vermicelli to the soup, stirring gently to break the tofu into bite-size pieces. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the noodles are transparent. Turn off the heat, and stir in the evaporated milk, if using.
• Divide the soup into four bowls, top with scallions and cilantro leaves, and serve immediately.
