Faux noodles are your friend

My husband spent the entire day studying for a big test he's taking this fall.  I wanted to make him some vegan comfort food but I also wanted to keep it fairly healthy (there's been some takeout and pasta in these parts the last few days).

I honestly didn't have much of a plan besides knowing I wanted to make zucchini noodles.  I tend to go grocery shopping on Monday's so Wednesday nights usually have a variety of ingredients to choose from.  

Ingredients 

• 1 zucchini (made into noodles with the Spiralfix)
• 4 cloves of garlic (we love garlic!)
• 2 Tbs. crushed garlic (I'd skip this if you're not a garlic fan)
• 1 onion chopped
• 2 carrots chopped
• 2 Tofurkey sausages
• 2 tomatoes chopped
• 3 Tbs. vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
• 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
• 3 Tbs. nutritional yeast
• 1/4 Cup vegan cheese (I used Daiya mozzarella cheese) 

First I sautéed my onions and garlic in a pan with some vegan butter.  While they were cooking I made my zucchini into noodles with the Spiralfix.  Zucchini noodles are my personal favorite. 

Once my onions and garlic were translucent I threw in my carrots, tofurkey sausage, tomatoes and noodles.  I added the remaining butter and red wine vinegar to the pan.  Once my veggies and sausage were cooked I topped everything off with the nutritional yeast and vegan cheese.  I personally love Daiya cheese because it melts like real cheese, a lot of other vegan cheeses do not.  Along with the nutritional yeast, this created a nice creamy sauce.  

This was definitely vegan comfort food but loaded with veggies (or at least I kept telling myself that).  My husband loved it.  I might have slipped some to the dog too...
