Vegan MoFo Day 10: Pasta Puttanesca

Happy Saturday, everyone. This is just a really simple pasta sauce. I jazzed it up a bit with the oregano and shallots, plus the toppings. Even though it's so simple, it packs a lot of flavor. I also read on the internet that this is a "whore" pasta. Something about it being easy for an adulterous house wife to make before her hubby gets home. That being said, you should still try it.

I also got my order of Daiya cheese this week! I'm excited to try it. I feel bad abandoning FYH because I do like it so much. But I had to see what all the fuss was about. I plan on making a pizza today and reporting back.
