Any recipe that has pasta in it catches my eye right away, and the fact that this only takes 30 minutes to make is even better. This recipe satisfies those carb cravings and is fast and easy, making it ideal for those school nights you’re short on time. Requiring only a few ingredients, this recipe can also be whipped up in that small dorm kitchen. This is a vegan recipe, but it can be altered by adding chicken or milk to the cream sauce. I’d recommend that you try the recipe as is, though, because not only is it delicious (my non-vegan friends agreed) but it’s healthy, too. I’m already planning to make it again!
