vegan carbonara | RECIPE?! ep #19 (hot for food)

[@maeveniacal]

Seriously your ability to pull random food from the fridge and make amazing vegan food with it has changed my life. I'm so much more of a fridge raider now than I ever was before I started watching your videos.

[@MsBill4bong]

Maeve Dooley same here ^-^

[@heatherdixon5973]

I immediately hit the "Like" button when the strainer handle broke. Gut feeling... went with it.

[@Spore_Money]

Same 😂

[@carlyhamdon7042]

Heather Dixon SAME 😂😂

[@hotforfood]

[@Warcheiftan]

me too her laugh was so cute lol

[@IsyTV]

I'm addicted to cooking channels of all kinds. I'm not even vegan and Hot For Food is legit one of my very favorites channels because of the clear amount of creativity and work you guys put in it. Recipe? shows that perfectly, which is why it might just be my favorite cooking segment on KZbin ☺️

[@hotforfood]

thank you so so much

[@maddiegreenlee8629]

IsyTV I agree she needs to be on food network or something 💕

[@_e11e_78]

Holy shit Lauren, did you seriously just make a carbonara sauce with Zucchinis?!?! You're a Rock Star

[@BloodyBlackHearts21]

I looove recipe?! because of these videos I started playing around in the kitchen and now i can actually cook. I even wrote a small cook book for my senior project. You guys are the best! vegans do it best

[@hotforfood]

that's so awesome!!

[@golgotango]

Amanda Talbot, awsome!!! could you share you amazing project?

[@annika8065]

Who else feared that she'd start spiralising the zucchini to make "spaghetti"

[@hotforfood]

YUCK

[@diyfrugalari2187]

Annika Mock OH MY GOODNESS I THOUGHT THIS TOO LOL #shook

[@mellowbeauty1]

same here! I was thinking "please dont" lol

[@_e11e_78]

I did for a split second, then I remembered who I was watching and knew there was NO chance! lol

[@vegetarianveganhealth7748]

aw but no matter what she does its ALWAYS GOOOOOOOOD. so definitely not worried if she had

[@skatingsarah1996]

Veganize a Dairy Queen Blizzard and a Sonic Milkshake!! I miss both (the taste not the dairy) and they both have such unique specific tastes; they ain't basic shakes so PLEASE 🙏🏼

[@courtneyraefl]

After watching Dev whip this up on Master of None I've been dying for a vegan carbonara! Hot For Food is my favorite thing, Hot For Food is my favorite...thing!

[@TheTastyVegan]

It is! They are the channel we look up the most to. Trying to learn from them a lot to improve our videos😊

[@danieladelafuente6839]

You should catch Binging with Babish's channel gurl. Not vegan, but check out his Master of None's carbonara episode, he made both the regular and the vegetarian version Dev made.

[@niamarchetti9719]

Binging with Babish is the BOMB!!! He is soooo entertaining! Yes, Yes, Yes!

[@5089amara]

back to the old background music, i love it!

[@hotforfood]

that's just the music for RECIPE?!

[@tamcon72]

I always add a skosh of naturally fermented plain sauerkraut brine to any "aged" cheese sauce I make, like cheddar or parmesan. Natural salt brines give that special lactic tang to nut or veg based products that don't have cultured dairy in them. It must be balanced out by a neutral sweetener, but it works. Really enjoyed the process in this one and how enthusiastic you are when everything's mixed in the pan! TFP : )

[@hotforfood]

yea if I had kraut I would have suggested that too! It worked perfect

[@katiecamacho3724]

Was not expecting the strainer to break from the sneak peak! Lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheTastyVegan]

Me neither really!😱 It has also happened to us while recording a recipe, such a coincidence! Maybe it's bound to happen to every vegan food youtuber once in our lives😂😂

[@Hanzeeeee]

A cream sauce with no cashews?! 😯😯

[@b.b.6405]

Tofu's great for cream sauces too 💗 It's what I always use to make Alfredo sauce!

[@biancabianca2194]

You guys were such a huge inspiration for me going vegan ! Forever thankful for that ♡

[@hotforfood]

yaaaay!!

[@seska__]

Vegan wizard levels off the charts with this one, Lauren!

[@SaysSalad]

"ME THINKS WE'LL NEED SOME NUTRITIONAL YEAST." always lauren always!

[@user-rm3iy4ye2l]

It's not even 11 a.m. here and the first 20 seconds of this video made my day 😂😂👏

[@BanginBrittney]

Love the mood of this video! Lauren seems hyper & happy. 😁

[@elisemarie4034]

I love Lauren's laugh!! 💜

[@KeshaMRoyster]

As soon as you dropped the noodles and bust out laughing...I knew i had to subscribe!!!

[@hotforfood]

thanks Kesha!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I notice something every time I watch one of your videos: I head immediately to the kitchen. Sometimes it's to see if I have the ingredients to make your recipe and sometimes it's just to eat because you make me hungry.

[@0LoveVintage0]

Lauren's reaction to her food is everything.

[@kathymarshall4900]

Girly, you're a BADASS vegan chef and I really enjoy your recipes. From my prospective, your editing is spot on and I love how quickly you roll through your segment while giving great tips and info along the way. The fun and laughter you guys create while cooking is so entertaining too. Much success to you!

[@hotforfood]

appreciate that. THANK YOU xo

[@dtanay]

Untill you mentioned that "true" Carbonara recipe, I had forgotten that you run a vegan channel. You seriously don't let your creativity constrict by a vegan diet. That's magnificent!

[@NicksMyName]

My favourite part of every video is Lauren's facial expressions when she taste tests lmao

[@cate3183]

Lauren Toyota is ABOVE THE LAW.

[@danielle8608]

Cate M dink fam asf

[@Haruta18]

😂😂😂

[@candidlyclaudine1070]

Cate M dink dink!

[@franny_sings]

You're always amazing but I feel like videos post vacation/break/living are just so recharged and you are so excited and killin it xoxo love y'all

[@starsaint]

Lauren has done it again! Also the Pasta Spill incident made my day.

[@lorraineogan9301]

That was so freaking delicious! I just made it but with yellow squash, cashew milk, and lemon juice. Thanks for a great recipe.

[@hotforfood]

yah yellow would totally work too!

[@janewatson1496]

Lauren I'm not sure if you know but once you open a can, you shouldn't put it back in the fridge in a can as not only can the taste of the tin dissolve into the food but there have also been cases of botulism which is a food borne disease.. the latter isn't as common anymore but idk just might be relevant regarding the tinny taste :)

[@alexisfelice]

hot for food made transitioning vegan so easy for me

[@JemmaStovell]

I use sundried tomato bits instead of pancetta, just the little flavour bombs I need

[@Allayabelle]

That is a great idea!

[@remycakes7248]

Any other suggestions for vegetables in place of the fakin' bacon? I want to live of this stuff!

[@Allayabelle]

What about eggplant or mushrooms marinated in liquid smoke and Braggs Liquid Aminos then pan fried or roasted till crisp?

[@taaaabz]

sounds yummy

[@remycakes7248]

VeganTemptress That sounds great! I'm going to try it!

[@Userhandle7384]

You have the best vegan recipes on KZbin. Was feeling down about the slim vegan options where I live and you've inspired me. Thanks!!

[@hotforfood]

awww so glad. VEGAN FOOD EVERYWHERE!!!

[@tubbista]

One day I'm gonna make a really distorted, extremely loud and zoomed in "Lauren eating sounds compilation".

[@hotforfood]

ON IT! haha

[@gfello]

I made this for the first time for dinner last night - OMFG! So good! I had no idea zucchini could taste so good. My new favorite vegan recipe. Thanks Lauren!

[@oropelewska]

Did you use sour or the sweet pickle brine??

[@blondechicks98]

I love these videos you do when you just whip something together because that is exactly how I cook. Please keep doing more they're so inspiring!

[@ingerhaugland6763]

You're awesome Lauren! Absolutely nailed it. I love this series so much.

[@DamnTastyVegan]

I have been binge watching your videos. I love your personality and style and genuine attitude. Definitely going to make this tonight

[@hotforfood]

thanks Maria xo

[@miraniflower]

Omg Lauren!! I just made the sauce In advance for tomorrow.. it is so creamy and delicious! U r my super 🌟! It’s amazing how plants can be turned out deliciously when I cook. Thank you!! Thanks to you vegan cooking is so much fun. Xx

[@hotforfood]

yaaay! thank you !

[@xxTAZZYBEANxx]

So I just made this... holy shit it was tasty. It's such a simple recipe but damn it's better then any creamy pasta I've ever had. Doesn't make me feel yucky when I over indulged either.

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY!

[@kriziadelmar7102]

Lauren Toyota saying things in other languages is my favorite thing on youtube

[@moniquebooij-bergmans319]

This was such a hit in our home! My husband said it was his best vegan meal ever! Can't wait to make this again and again :) Plus, so cool you can get such a creamy sauce just using zucchinis. Awesome, thank you Lauren, love your recipes!

[@ashleyekwughalu9594]

Who loves this channel so much they don't even need a notification? 💖💞

[@hotforfood]

well thank you BUT if you do really love us you should click that BELL for notifications so you don't miss anything cause YT is messed up ;)

[@ashleyekwughalu9594]

hot for food OK will do!!!!! Thank you so much for replying!!! I really love you guys !!!omg I'm crying!!

[@cathycintolo1849]

YT notifications come in one - two days later...I've usually already seen the video :) better to subscribe and check your subscribed link on the left side of the page...........

[@jpiercy3636]

Why does it matter when the salt is to be added?

[@Frozen518]

Indian Black Salt is really added for it's sulfur content, hence da "eggy" taste. Sometimes heat can make that go away fairly quickly, so you add it at the end :)

[@beccastarship2882]

So I made my own version of this carbonara, very similar to your sauce, I cannot believe the zucchini and cashews made such an incredible sauce, I didn’t have the black salt but the zucchini gave it that eggy flavor. Wow. Best thing I’ve ever made!!!!! I’ve been so inspired by you. I’m very careful to not waste any food. I make crazy dishes out of random ingredients as well and most of the time they come out incredible. It is so refreshing to see another food blogger cooking in this way. Thankyou so much for your incredible channel. Subscriber (and vegan) for life!

[@chelseamiller4415]

I love these Recipe?! videos. I've been in a cooking rut, and now I'm inspired again. Thanks guys! Your videos make my day.

[@jeneregretterien7280]

When I make my version of Carbonara, I use white beans for the sauce. I blend them super smooth and thin it out a little with water and/or non-dairy milk until I get the consistency I want. That usually makes for a preeety thick and creamy sauce and I love the taste (mixed with everything else of course).

[@priscilajmarquez46]

I liked immediately when I saw you dump the pasta in the sink 😂😂😂😂😂 that's something I'd do #teamclutz

[@priscilajmarquez46]

Lauren you're forever making me hungry! Looks aaaaaahhmaaazinggg

[@Juliyakay]

Making the sauce tonight for dinner with leftover spaghetti!! Thanks Lauren! Never stop making these Recipe? Videos.

[@kathleenswenning9915]

I have been craving pasta just like this but didn’t know how to make it! Thank you!

[@its_bea954]

Lauren, I absolutely love both of your channels! Your vibes are so motivating, inspiring and honest and your recipes - holy shit - amazing!! I've been following you for quite a while now and I still get as excited for new videos as I did in the very beginning! :)♥

[@rejectofthemoon]

I was watching this like.. "mm it'll probably be yummy, cant go wrong with pasta" BUT I WAS BLOWN AWAY. it looks AMAZING.

[@MacBabyyy7]

This looks so delicious already and I haven't even finished watching 😍🤤

[@baileyjj760]

Wow!! This was sooo amazing I ran it down to my friend and her husband who are trying to change to plant based. They LOVED it!! This is 2 for 2 of your recipes. Amazing!!! Thank you for such easy and flavorful options to vegan eating

[@hotforfood]

AWW AMAZING !!!

[@TheTastyVegan]

11:00 "The black salt is salty" . I don't know why I laughed so much at that!😂

[@TheTastyVegan]

BTW Lauren love your work, maybe we can collab some day😊

[@marypace2400]

Yum

[@pretzelsfan]

you're fucking unreal!!!!!! that looks so bomb. yessss lauren

[@karimegan6391]

5 years later and I still make this recipe all the time! Instead of vegan meat I throw in a combination of spring onions, green peas , baby spinach, or fresh oregano or basil. Sometimes I will add vegan cheese into the blender and simmer the sauce to make it creamier and fattier, but it doesn't even need it. Thank you so much for this amazing delicious recipe, it's one of my favourite things to make. My non vegan partner was mind blown the first time I made it for him and now it's one of his favourite things I make too.

[@hotforfood]

LOVE!!! thanks for sharing and I'm so happy you have it in regular rotation :D

[@GoldenOwl97]

When you're vegan and you only go to the restaurant for the people or the inspo but you prefer your own cooking 😂😂

[@flyjoyce]

Oriane Robin my life! 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

[@milliegonzalez4416]

Wow that carbonara looks so beautiful I could cry right now.

[@graceygirl1234]

I made this the other night and it was FANTASTIC!! Thank you Laura for your amazing recipe.

[@cocobobby8]

These videos have really inspired me to come up with my own RECIPE?! creations. Keep up the amazing work 👏🏻

[@MichelleOhElle]

"I know it seems weird but when you're vegan you just gotta do what you gotta do!" Literally the most concise and accurate way to describe cooking vegan food lmao

[@TheSessionCA]

Not only is this video FIRE its exactly what I would like to do. You make my videos look like they were shot on a cam corder lmao. Awesome girl. You just gained a sub!!!

[@haleyrae7961]

I'm new to this vegan world and I'm starting out doing full vegan eating 4 days a week and slowly transitioning to a vegan life! I love your guys videos they are so simple and right to the point! I've made the corn zucchini fritters and the roasted red pepper pasta sauce and they came out amazing!!! 😆😆 💙💙

[@KimberlyByrdV]

I just made this and it was amazing! I WISH I had a better blender to blend that sauce but it was still so yummy! I added mushrooms, and baked cherry tomatoes for a little extra yum to mine too. Even my kids loved it! Definitely a win and an EASY dinner! Thanks a million!

[@YinSauce]

Yay RECIPE?! is back

[@lunaviola8599]

"I'm just showing the Italians how it's done" *calls pasta "noodles" * LAUREEENN you got some nerve!!😂😋

[@hotforfood]

bahahaahaa

[@beccafeldman2105]

I'm obsessed with your videos I always look forward to new ones

[@RasberryBuns]

So underrated!! You're amazing

[@MsChouchou18]

this pasta dish looks INSANELY good!! carbonara is my favorite! might try this version xxxx

[@Synnov3]

ive been on the look for a vegan version since i first made this from scratch, its just such a great dish. i cant wait to try out the vegan version! Thanks Lauren :)

[@chuptee7523]

Lauren you are so entertaining! Great recipe!

[@veganyum]

I made this last week for dinner, but used tromboncino instead of zucchini, because a friend gave us some from her garden. I substituted white wine vinegar for the pickle brine (but should have used a bit less, probably 1 or 1 1/2 tbsp of the white wine vinegar) but it was so good. I am a huge fan of carbonara, and your recipe is now one of my go-to's for a yummy dinner whenever I get a tromboncino from my friend!! Thanks so much! =D

[@taschinadevanna2471]

This looks legit Lauren :) One thing my eye lacked though, was parsley. To me the essential of a carbonara is parsley. However recipes?! Calls for creativity and if parsley was not on hand leave it out. You could also use mushroom or eggplant bacon as a substitute. The "vegg" is also very handy in that dish. Anyways good job as always :)

[@elisabetholiveiraa]

A zucchini based carbonara? Whaaaat? This so awesome, Lauren! Definitely gonna try this!!!

[@angharad.9743]

This is the first hot for food video that i have seen. Lauren is literally me omg so much!

[@dfwolfe23]

Made this twice. Once with soyrizo, second time with field roast italian sausage. Both were excellant. Thank for the recipe.

[@smallmoon80085]

I didn't think goopy carbonara was real i thought it was a sims 3 thing 😂😂

[@rolom3]

It is only from the sims

[@TheMimiSard]

LOL, I came here from a video about Goopy Carbonara. That one seemed to be a straight carbonara but I like the idea of Goopy being a variant on carbonara.

[@ebonyhollis796]

meee too!

[@laurak7247]

You can also chop some more zucchini in small cubes and fry it on a high heat until it is crispy and brown. That's what they do in Italy to make vegetarian carbonara.

[@alainadacosta1222]

wow this looks amazing!

[@isabelfisch7578]

Spontaneously changed up my dinner plans and am cooking up that carbonaaara now🍝❤️

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY!

[@janewatson1496]

"is this turning you on" LAUREN OMG YES I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF SHREDDED PHALLIC OBJECTS

[@ROKnatural]

I love these RECIPE?! videos so much :)

[@holisticjessa9007]

"Did I just nail this on the first try?!" *proceeds to add more stuff* lol I LOVE watching you cook!!!

[@GinaC4]

Yum! Brilliant! Love how you inspire us!

[@HeatherSierraVEVO]

Omg I wanted you guys to make this and here it is! Love you guys!

[@_amna6608]

Might just be your best RECIPE?! ever. I love carbonara so much 😍

[@antv5470]

I’m italian and when I wasn’t vegan I used to love carbonara , today I’ve tried it and IT DID TASTE LIKE CARBONARA. Everyone in my family said the same (non-vegans). Ps. For the cheese I used Lauren’s parmesan recipe

[@hotforfood]

YASSS!!! So happy to hear :D thanks for taking the time to share!

[@whatmargauxdoes]

LOVED THIS RECIPE?! It makes me want to be creative with a zucchini base cream sauce .... MMMMMM So many possibilities !!! Thanks for showing us this trick !!!

[@Wormwoodification]

Finally someone uses black salt in a vegan pasta Carbonara. I've been looking for this!

[@danielavilla6213]

Lauren makes vegan food look so delicious!!!!

[@karimegan6391]

I made this for my dad (who isn't vegan) but fried up some vegan bacon bits instead of the sausage and he loved it! Was even good without the black salt (couldn't find any) so I can't wait to see what this recipe is like when I find some.

[@karimegan6391]

update I found black salt and it's so good!

[@hermionemoran9310]

i made this tonight for dinner! i changed it a bit, a used broccoli stalks instead of zucchini because i had weirdly massive amount in my fridge and used acv instead of pickle brine, i used vegan chicken strips i cut up and fried with your bacon marinade as the "bacon" and added kale

[@Hiiipowerdanni]

Omg this looks so good! I've always wanted to try this and my first time will definitely be this vegan recipe.

[@franniebee4813]

Made this tonight. Added mushrooms 🍄 , shallots and used vegan Italian field roast sausage. Delicious!! My two non vegan friends approved!!!!! Also this was one of your funniest videos! Loved it!

[@angiem7936]

LOL WHEN THE PASTA THING BROKE

[@Yzyxdolorza]

To go along with black salt, especially for tofu "eggs" ... a little truffle oil or truffle salt and a pinch of poultry seasoning mixed in with the nooch. The best.

[@earthkitchen6981]

You are so creative with your recipes love them!!

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU!

[@rubykirstine]

Oh my! This looks so amazing and you are so lovable

[@091096rn]

I use mushrooms to make "bacon"! I cut them in strips and marinate them in soy sauce, smoked paprika and a little bit of sriracha. :)

[@KaliBerg]

Totally making this next week for family dinner on Sunday! Thanks Lauren ❤️

[@nshvh]

100% making this for dinner. Looks phenomenal 😍😍
