  1. Hi, I don’t have any nutritional yeast, can I make it without or is it integral to the success of the sauce? Thank you

    1. Hey Nicky, nutritional yeast brings a cheesy and umami flavor, if you skip it you will need to add more seasonings 🙂

    Made this today with the intention of having a few lunch portions for myself for the week, however my kids wanted it for dinner and ate it all! I didn’t have any jarred paprika so I used a couple of fresh red paprika. I also added chopped spinach, broccoli and frozen peas for extra veggies!
