Vegan Sauerkraut and Tomato Pasta
"I never thought that sauerkraut would be good in a pasta dish, but after trying this out, I proved myself wrong! This is a great, heardy, tangy dish that any kraut-lover will surely enjoy."

We thought this was ok. Mostly it tasted like pasta and sauerkraut. It was fine but probably not something I'd make again. It did make me crave reubens though! :) -
We loved this! Only changes were to leave out the oil and used just a tad of oil spray and added some hot chili flakes. Yum Yum Yum! Served over wide whole wheat noodles with a side of roasted asparagus. Super easy and tasty- perfect for a weeknight meal. Did not add any tofu- it was fine without it. Thanks for posting! Will make this tangy treat again for sure.

I've been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, "What do you eat?" or, "Doesn't being vegan make it harder to cook?" Nope! In fact, I've found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I've tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
