ORIGINAL RECIPE
VEGAN

Cooked for my buddy  scorch. Contains no animal products whatsoever.

Ingredients:

Rice Pasta (small package of spaghetti-style pasta is fine)

2 large yellow bell peppers
3 jalapenos
1 red bell pepper (medium or small)
1 green bell pepper (medium or small)
3 serrano peppers
2 yellow zuccinis (medium)
2 green zuccinis (medium)
3 cups of mushrooms (portabello would do)
1 large yellow or red onion
1 cup olive oil

1/2 cup flour (rice or wheat)
1/3 cup yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cups nondairy milk (soy or almond)
1/2 teaspoon of mustard (whichever you like, so long as it is prepared stuff)

Cook rice pasta according to directions. Set aside after draining.

Cut vegetables (except onion and pepper) into rounds, and combine with a cup of olive oil in a large pan. Fry over medium heat, stirring every five minutes to prevent burning or settling of ingredients. Should be ready within approximately fifteen minutes.

Cut onions as small as possible. Do not turn into puree. Put with the other ingredients and cook for an additional five minutes, placing the large yellow peppers, cut in half, over the pan to heat as you finish cooking.

Combine the flour, yeast, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and the mustard in a sauce pan. Slowly stir in the non-dairy milk. Stir as you cook until the sauce appears even. Put on high heat until the sauce bubbles and begins to thicken as you stir. Turn to low heat, stir for another two minutes, or until the sauce seems thick enough for you.

Combine the sauce and the vegetables in a large bowl, let stand for ten minutes.

Use the yellow pepper halves for the sauce/vegetable mix when you serve with rice pasta.

OPTIONS:
For those who want their pasta extra hot, use chili peppers instead of red and green bell peppers.

For non-vegan version of this dish, I would recommend using a mixture of alfredo sauce (1 cup) and Velveeta (1 cup equivalent) melted over medium heat (the result is considerably more tasty). Use regular spaghetti for the pasta, and do not worry about using non-dairy products to add something extra to the dish.

One extra ingredient to consider is some parsley flakes on top or maybe green onion shoots.
