Cheesy Meatless Vegan Pasta

Well, I must say. This is one cheesy meatless vegan pasta among my healthy vegan recipes that all of my family likes. Hooray for me!You know my family is not vegan and they shun anything without meat. So when my family likes it, you know it has to be good

  • Add tomatoes, water, sauce and seasonings
  • Bring to boil, then turn to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes
