If I could only make one pasta this fall… 🍂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I think this will be my main dish for Thanksgiving (unless I decide to make my vegan moussaka...or shepherd's pie)! What are you cooking for the holidays? Moussaka recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXa2YZ9udtakfKc Shepherd's pie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqDFdnWbh76ZaNE

[@zepzour7391]

I made your moussaka for thanksgiving last year along with the sumac salad from the 3 hour thanksgiving video, everyone loved it! Can't wait to try this recipe. I'm gonna try it with my favorite soy milk I typically use for bechemel, the unsweetend Silk brand.

[@lisamangano3143]

Made these two years ago for Thanksgiving and they were divine. Excuse me while I change my menu.

[@Raddiebaddie]

Lentil wellington or pot pie 🥧

[@corbanx0809]

I just realized why I like this channel. Sure, the recipes are awesome and delicious, but it's your joy of cooking and your happiness when a recipe works. You found your calling I guess. Thx for sharing it.

[@corbanx0809]

I'm just afraid for your fingers. Seeing you cutting makes me anxious.

[@simonjuliette7053]

The green part of leeks is absolutely edible. It's a lot less hard than kale for example! And once cooked it's as soft as the white. Just cook it altogether and it's delicious

[@deveraux1]

I am going through chemo and finding satisfying foods that aren’t acidic and won’t hurt my mouth has been such a challenge. This recipe was a bit of work but wow, it is so heavenly! It feels so festive and comforting and is the perfect thing for my solo chemo Thanksgiving. Thank you for your culinary inspiration and all that you do. I have shared the recipe with many people.

[@numbersletters3886]

Awesome, can’t wait to try. I’m not a vegetarian even, but I love making your recipes. About half the week now your dinners, family loves them. The Moroccan dish is amazing!! Eating leftover bolognese now, can’t believe it. Thank you!! I’m eating 50% vegan, mind blowing, lol. My girls love them as well. You are making this dad look good, thanks!!

[@Alina_Schmidt]

Yeah, Nisha‘s recepies are 😎 Which Moroccan dish do you mean?

[@_Oscar326]

This was the first Rainbow Plant Life recipe I attempted… …and then I was sold from then on! Made this last month. Still a family favorite. 😋 Can’t wait to try the updated version. Love leeks.

[@Melanie-jy2nw]

I’m thinking of trying it out but is this a really long dish to make or one that you can easily make during the week?

[@_Oscar326]

@@Melanie-jy2nw - It can be done mid-week but you can save yourself some headache by making the tofu ricotta on the weekend. I feel it gets better the longer it sits. I have also stuffed the shells and refrigerated them in a dish for a day. Make the beschemel (sp?) sauce the day of and pour on before baking.

[@yettelrodriguez3357]

I just made this, following all steps. I cannot say enough, it is sooo good! My husband loved it, and so did I… this is a keeper. I saved it my list. THANK you !!! Please keep it casual and including your silly moments we all love it… 😂😊

[@annab3202]

This looks amazing! Personally, I find leeks easier and faster to clean before you slice them. If you cut it in half lenghtwise, you can separate the layers a little with your fingers and wash away any dirt under running water

[@japsowinkaur525]

This may be my favorite video of yours of all time! "Fold in the cheese!" 😂😂😂 The dish looks like something from a Michelin star restaurant. You're the gourmet queen 👑 👑 👑

[@wegvS]

Don’t forget waterboarding the leeks!

[@gabbym333]

But how do you fold it in?!

[@wayofjuniper]

Love the Schitt’s Creek reference. 🤣 Looks amazing!! Can’t wait to make it.

[@breathebychance]

I've said this many times before, but you are so adorable and a joy to watch and learn from! The spa day leeks made me laugh and smile 😄

[@iniyama]

i've never heard anyone say that you can't eat the green parts of the leek, they're very commonly used in cooking here (germany) and in fact i think it's the best part xD guess it's time to mash some pumpkin because i've never seen pumpkin puree sold here

[@laurayiselrodriguez4254]

There’s so many things I love about this channel. For starters your personality jumps off the screen as do your flavors and creativity with the dishes. Many people agree, it’s really fun to watch you but even more fun to impress my family with the skills you’ve taught! But what takes the cake is the comments section.. it’s just filled with positive remarks and exchanges of appreciation for your craft. Legit a zero hate zone, so hard to find now a days. Thanks for creating this safe space I am so excited to keep impressing my fam! Thanks Nisha!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BirdieMcLovin]

This is some level 10 cooking! Wish I could find this in a restaurant (waiting on you to open one Nisha!) so I don't have to do the clean up, lol.

[@samanthaaiello]

This looks so tasty! 🍁 Thanks again for answering my question on your blog about subbing cashews out. I appreciate your honesty, and the time you took to answer my question in such detail

[@juliejarmusch2421]

"Cleansing" the leek was hilarious! This recipe is definitely going in my meal plan!

[@Psysium]

I want to steal that whole pan of shells and eat them in a corner like a gremlin. Which is to say, this recipe looks TASTY.

[@ANEWCreationLimited]

I've made your tofu ricotta into a manicotti style recipe before and it was wonderful! I also tried making zucchini rolls stuffed with the ricotta and they were also wonderful. Thank you for introducing me to such a versatile recipe, Nisha!

[@TorenTerlouw]

I made this a few nights ago to test it before I made it for thanksgiving! It is delicious and I’m sticking to the coconut milk. I didn’t use a lite one I used a regular one and it was perfect. Love your recipes :)

[@susisauerkraud8337]

You can cut the leek lengthwise in half and then hold it together at the white end and rinse the layers under water. Drain and cut how you like it. Btw. Now i'm hungry for this delicious looking dish❤

[@kelisk13]

Like this version.... Looks really good. Especially with the crispy sage

[@danferrusquia2819]

I wanna make this with butternut squash

[@Cora.T]

I usually wash leek by cutting it in half lengthways and then running it under the tap and making sure the water gets between all the layers, while holding the leek at an angle with the root end at the top

[@italiana626sc]

I dislike coconut milk, so oat milk is the perfect sub for me. And I also love leeks!! Can't wait to try this one!

[@naomiwitzke]

"Slay at the holidays" = Holislayyyy 🎄💃🏼

[@user-ut6vc4rf7p]

That looks amazing, thanks. Love when you dance. It's obvious that you enjoy your food..

[@joeyballentine7375]

Love when you dance. It's obvious that you enjoy your food.

[@ashnatiwari]

This looks so delicious, I am going to make a veg version of this! stay tuned. Also there are other simpler ways to clean leeks (scoring them is a quick and efficient way to clean leeks)

[@ManifestingwithIntention]

HI, Rainbow Plant Life - Omg...an updated recipe. I love it. I still do not have leeks and pumpkin, lol. I just came over from your recipe from back in the day. I think it was from 2018.

[@neverashore]

this was the first recipe i made from you back in 2020! it's a fav around here

[@jenwylie4093]

I'm lazy, so I would probably turn it into a Lasagna. It looks delicious!!

[@amyharris2121]

I have made this dish many times, now I'm going to try the new version, and I thought the same thing "lasagna" I'm completely pressed for time tomorrow so lasagna it is lol

[@phillipjoseph]

Alternatively, you can cut the leek length-wise and rinse under cold running water flaring back the layers to release dirt. Then chop and dry

[@lupa5817]

Looks delicious ! I'm sure a version with mushrooms instead of leeks would work :) a little bit fancier even !

[@jenjibur]

Oh my goodness! This needs to be in my belly right now! It looks delicious!

[@marathorne6821]

This sounds amazing. I'll have to give it a try. I'm particularly intrigued by the tofu ricotta - that's got my cogs whirring! Thanks, Nisha 🙏

[@lisj3462]

Oh my my. Yes I will be making this. Thank you Nisha 💘

[@sheilab9572]

Girrrrrrl! No cashews! I love it and will try this week!!

[@rachelmorris1309]

i haven’t even watched the vid yet but i’m so excited because this is one of the best recipes i have EVER made

[@stefanypena7326]

OMG, for a second I felt déjà vu and was sure that it wasn't the first time you've made this recipe 😅. But yeah, I made this one last Christmas, and it was sooo yummy. Can't believe you're leveling up the recipe 😯

[@foleyjp1]

Looks wonderful - definitely labor intensive so you need to plan lots of kitchen time.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

The pumpkin stuffed shells look so yummy 😋

[@PastaAndFriends]

This is something I have to try. Thank you for sharing

[@molly4495]

These were a huge hit at my Thanksgiving table last year and I brought them to a holiday party too. Delicious!!

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

I will def be making this for my girls craft fall night!!! Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to try it!

[@linkamoreno9959]

I can corroborate it's delicious 🤤🤤 i made the old recipe for Christmas 2 years ago and everyone loved it (even non vegans)....

[@marylemma9932]

Its crazy bc i just made this last week and was thinking it would be great if you gave it an upgrade or had a video!! And here it is!!! Looking forward to trying the oat milk and leek upgrades next time.

[@terribohn7588]

The reference to Schitz Creek totally cracked me up! That was one of my favorite episodes.

[@deanmoore7239]

Thanks for this. Definitely going to try it. I'm not a fan of pumpkin however, so thought I'd try it with butternut or acorn squash.

[@joeyq9953]

Rainbow Plant Life = 10/10 recipes

[@user-ch8oq5cp7h]

Haha, I just watched that "fold it in" episode yesterday!

[@marcfredette7328]

Thanks for that visual reminder! 8:42 and the leek's cleaning tip

[@warrenschrader7481]

"We're keeping things vegan today." Wait....are there days when you don't keep it vegan?

[@eye_gnat]

I can’t wait to try this! I’m obsessed with the original recipe so I know this is going to be amazing.

[@catherineelkhattabystrauch4759]

i have made this (the old version) and can confirm it is freaking DELICIOUS. I can't wait to make it again with the updates!!!

[@elisahall-ponsele1837]

This looks so tasty!!

[@RadioGirLF]

Nisha, you're a food magician!

[@ninadunham3543]

I’d love to try this with pistachio milk…

[@eboni1111]

“Not a bad day to be a leek” except for getting chopped into pieces. 😂

[@shaliniagarwal5808]

Delicious. And I loved the schitt’s creek reference 😂

[@Annawastaken]

Looks delicious!! I think you could even do a lasagne if you switch out the pasta to make it a little more family dinner like and a bit less fancy.

[@serendipityshopnyc]

I might try a super lazy version and just mix pumpkin ricotta with fusilli and throw some bechamel over it! Seriously not into the shell-stuffing thing....

[@ter8330]

I LOVE that casserole dish!

[@LeeLeeLove222]

I love the Constantine reference!😂 and obviously the folding in the cheese😅

[@j.lahtinen7525]

That looks so good! Have to try this out some time, as I get the time.

[@dtdtdtdtification]

wow, the original recipe was already one of my favorites. can't wait to try this one out. looks/sounds very decadent!

[@hellodanbi]

I'm desperate to be healthy, but I think vegan is the answer. Both of my parents had dementia, so I quit my job and took care of them. Last year, they both passed away after 3 months. It was stressful. My parents passed away, and I am physically and mentally ill. I have a brain aneurysm in my head and two brain aneurysms. I even had hypothyroidism, so I suddenly gained 15kg. Anxiety disorder Panic disorder I still suffer from insomnia. A year after my parents passed away, I'm still in treatment, but it hasn't been long since I started again. I started KZbin, took a walk, and traveled because I had the courage to share and communicate. Now I want to be healthy. I want everyone watching this video to be healthy. When you lose health, you lose everything.

[@_Anouk_]

I loved this video, like the way you are calm and fun at the same time and also keep it so real and relatible is great! Thank you for being you 🩷

[@copacopa1013]

I can’t wait!!!!!!!! I’m drooling!

[@GabyP17]

I bought the shells and the few ingredients I didn’t have for this, so excited to try! Such a fun fall recipe. Thanks for sharing again❤

[@JameyReads]

If you don’t want to eat the dark green parts of the leeks-I save them to make broth with. Also yummy ☺️

[@destinyramsey4]

LOve that casserole dish

[@tangoangel2782]

Of course the dark green part of leeks is edible. Amazing people would toss it 😮

[@fairybliss7772]

If you know anyone with chickens, you can save all your veg scraps and give them to the chicken people. I have zero food waste because I give it all to my chickens. Some I keep raw and others I boil, then save the broth for cooking

[@JustineAdlong]

I'm not a vegan, so I made half with tofu & half with ricotta to see which tastes better. When I pulled them out of the oven, I forgot which was which. I tried each and couldn't tell the difference lol, they look and taste the same. So I'm not sure if we ate tofu or ricotta tonight 😂

[@09echols]

This looks delicious and even non vegan people would enjoy this.

[@py16667]

^That goes for all her recipes!

[@wegvS]

It’s not like vegans have different tastebuds. I‘m not really vegan but I love this channel because everything tastes awesome.

[@Therealfakemaxgoldberg]

Lol there’s no vegan food that only vegans can enjoy

[@b-ridge1589]

That looks sooo good!

[@diesel9650]

That looks amazing, thanks

[@Raiziell]

I wish i could double like this video purely for the Schitts Creek clips.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

4:54 is some kind of ironic baptism reference, n'est pas? If so, fully hilarious. Nisha is great.

[@Sweettomatovine]

Amazing recipe

[@annabeljones-vanboxtel4142]

Pumpkins and pumpkin purée are not readily available in the UK - might try this with butternut squash instead 🤔

[@suicune2001]

OMG that looks so good!

[@sultrydoll]

This looks sooooo delicious!! 😋

[@captainbritain7379]

This is one of your best recipes. I love it! (Had to sub squash for pumpkin but is worked great!)

[@Ynnsie]

You were a (charming) klutz today. But I missed the Nisha-dance-of-happiness at the end! I feel deprived.

[@vempatibharani806]

I made it and it came out so good.. Perfect for Thanksgiving

[@kreator373]

Nice upload. I like it so much. Have a blessed time. Greetings ~ Milan

[@awffp1890]

A Schitt’s Creek reference? I’m in.

[@cassandranc123]

This was a hit for Thanksgiving. All omnivores other than me. I was a tad worried about the filling because I didn’t have any vegan parm and it tasted kinda tofu-y when it was cold. But after baking it was perfect!

[@angelakesecker6291]

Do you have any tips for subbing out the tofu? I'm sensitive to soy, but I'd love to make this! Do you think I could use white beans, Cashews, or a combination? Or maybe something else? Thank you!!

[@bharsanta5029]

Superb!!

[@mrs_vegan]

Excellent my friend🌱👌

[@JenniferMoeller-fi4to]

Can’t wait to try this! ❤Love your videos, your food, your family, and the Schitt’s creek reference!!

[@jordanmcdaniel1398]

So good

[@Alina_Schmidt]

I‘m often clueless about leeks. I usually end up smashing them in a soup 😅 Any tips for alternatives? Like, Weeknight-friendly and using leeks as main/ „only“ vegetable?

[@tobyday162]

That pasta dish looks amazing ! Please can you advise what to use for the bechamel roux instead of flour as a wheat free option, thanks. Your food videos are my favourite 'go to' selection, as I always know it will be tasty ! 😊

[@TheOlgagr]

Watching these before breakfast was a mistake 😅 these looks soooo awsom

[@TheEnchantedBesom]

Oooooooooo! This looks AMAZING!!!! I'm making your mac and cheese with the butternut squash sauce for Friendsgiving (it was a huge hit last year), and I just might have to make this recipe when I visit my family for the holidays. Thank you for sharing recipes that are delicious, mostly whole foods based, and that both vegans and omnivores love. (Also, the little edits in today's video were hilarious!🤣🤣 That got an instant like from me before I even saw the full video.)

[@_Anouk_]

This looks amazing and so delicious! Really gonna give this a try🤩👌
