Kimchi, Pasta and Bacon, oh my!

Seriously you guys, if I was able to come through your computer screen and force you to make something for dinner tonight, it would be this Creamy Vegan Kimchi Pasta with Bacon! Just looking at these pictures while I write this post is making my tummy growl.

I love me some kimchi, but it turns out I love it even more when it’s paired with bacon, sauteed garlic, and some super creamy sour cream. I can barely describe how well these flavors work together!

Each bite was like a big flavorful punch in the mouth… But in a good way!

As the weather turns colder I find myself craving pasta more and more, and this is a really great way to keep it from getting boring. Plus finding vegan kimchi is pretty easy these days, so you don’t need to worry about making it yourself. I’ve actually never even attempted to make it myself because, honestly, it seems like a huge pain in the lady-balls. Much easier to just hop on down to my local Whole Foods (or Sprouts, Natural Grocers, etc) and pick up a jar. Plus, that way you’ll have a little extra to make some Kimchi Relish for your veggie dogs!
