Vegan carbonara sauce
The carbonara is one of the best known recipes of Italian cuisine, and also one of the most exported and versioned since it appeared for the first time written by Ippolito Cavalcanti in 1839.
Although originally in the Apennines, 'carbonara' referred to a pasta dish used to be taken by miners in the area who worked in charcoal extraction (in Italian 'carbonari', hence the name), with the passage of years has been derived in different versions to become known as a creamy sauce of subtle flavor that is added to pasta, pizzas and other and various dishes.
Its flavor is very creamy and delicate, highlighting in it the rich accents of sofrito and the contrast that seitan brings, also adding a certain dose of intensity.
This is a very quick and easy to prepare sauce and, being made exclusively with ingredients of vegetable origin, does not contain cholesterol, lactose or trans fats.
In addition, it is rich in proteins , lecithin , fiber , flavonoids , alliin , vitamins C and group B ( B1 , B2 , B3 , B6 and B9 or folic acid ), calcium , copper , chromium , phosphorus , iron , lithium , manganese , magnesium , molybdenum , potassium , selenium , vanadium and zinc .
