Happy last day of MoFo! I haven’t quite been keeping to my proposed theme and daily posting as much as I intended, but I like to think that posting elsewhere (and co- planning a vegan bloggers conference, zomg!!!) has helped make up for it a tiny bit. That, and getting wrapped up on the MoFo reader for hours at a time on a regular basis – but, who hasn’t? It’s the weather for lengthy simmering on the stove, and I’ve done so recently with mulled pear apple cider, French Moroccan lentil soup, and creamy tomato vodka sauce.
The recipe for Penne alla Vodka comes from Veganomicon, and I served it over spaghetti one night with beanballs, and with the traditional penne, and balsamic braised greens on another. I’m newly allergic to almonds, so I subbed raw cashews and the result seemed even creamier than I remembered.
For the love of appropriately early Sunday night Italian dinners: Whole Wheat Spaghetti alla Vodka with baked Roasted Garlic & White Bean Balls (modified from the chickpea cutlet recipe).
Balsamic Braised Greens:

Cheers! With a Citrus & Jalapeño-infused vodka cocktail:
OOOO I want that drink. Great last mofo post.
That looks good! I still have to make the penne alla vodka from Veganomicon… I really don’t know what I am waiting for.
I know you’re not a huge Daiya fan, but I recently discovered that if you melt copious amounts of mozzarella into your marinara, the result is delicious & very similar to vodka sauce.
Well done for all your MoFo’ing – it sure has been fun.
I have been really craving spaghetti and ‘meat’balls lately, and this hasn’t helped. I think I’ll have to copy you now and have this for supper tonight.
Oh my, the spaghetti & bean balls look amazing.
That cocktail looks crazy awesome. I’ve never thought to add jalepeno to a sweet drink, but why not? I could really use a drink.
hooray for vodka… and all the awesome work you’re doing! cheers!
Yummy vodka and vodka sauce! Years ago my bro. and I were at a friends house cooking dinner and we tried vodka in our pasta sauce. It turned out great! This is a really good recipe of VCON.
Great job MoFoing this month

I have never thought of using the chickpea cutlets as meatballs! What a great idea!
I’ve laughed with mofos, I’ve cried with mofos….
That penne looks too good to be real. I’m going to have to pull that recipe out myself!
do it, jeyg!
