It’s almost FALL!! The season of all things sweater weather, comforting warm drinks and all things PUMPKIN!! A time for hanging out with loved ones. Baked with the young ones. Dressing up in our favourite outfits. You know, the ones that aren’t so bulky you are waddling, so it’s actually still pretty cute and stylish. Yesss, those.

I hope you love this variety of recipes, friends. While most of them contain pumpkin, I did mix it up with a few readers favourites. They are all relatively easy to prepare, and very crowd-pleasing indeed. They start at 10 minutes and generally have a low prep time throughout the recipes. Lots of love and happy almost Fall.

When I was younger, Italian food was my favourite. I’m talking all the pastas, and so when we went to Italy the first time, I was in heaven. Since then my favourite foods have switched up a bit, but I still love an easy, delicious and hot pasta dish. That’s one of the reasons I was so excited to make this Vegan Cheese Pasta Bake. Comforting fall foods? Here we come.

Oh my goodness. It has been a while since I’ve had a pasta bake. Let me write the ways I love thee. Cheesy? Check. Saucy? Check. Baked aka flavour heaven? Check check check. Instead of listing all the reasons why a pasta bake is an excellent idea, let me just go ahead and say – you’ll definitely love and enjoy this dish.

I really wanted to highlight the flavours in this dish. Naturally I immediately reached for my Thrive Algae Oil for this recipe. When I was approached to try this oil, I was definitely intrigued. Did you know that the algae was sourced from the sap of a Chestnut tree?! The makers of Thrive had studied hundreds of strains of algae to find the one with the best fat profile and taste. It’s fascinating to me all the ways that algae can be used to enhance our food. Plus, I’ve tried algal powder before and couldn’t wait to give this a try.

Probably my favourite thing about the Thrive Algae Oil is that it has a really high smoke point. Gav loves to cook his food on high which always terrifies me a bit, so it’s good to know that he can safely use this oil. That also makes it amazing for stir-frying, or in my case, baking with it.

We’ve been using this for weeks now, so it really does last long and works in pretty much any dish! Like I said above, this Vegan Cheese pasta bake just tasted like that – an incredible and mouth watering pasta bake. Since then, we’ve used this oil in almost every dish and I’ve definitely fallen in love.

I hope you guys love and try this recipe and check out Thrive Algae Oil! Enjoy, friends!
