I know what you’re thinking, “That looks delicious!” It does look delicious, and I am sure the creators of this recipe do a great job of making it, but I didn’t do a great job of making it. I ended up with a beautiful, tasteless dish with a super hot aftertaste (but still tasteless). I have never experienced a heat without any flavor. I followed the directions exactly. However, I didn’t use the nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is really expensive but I am thinking it is essential to this dish’s flavor.

I am racking my brain trying to figure out what could be added, other than nutritional yeast, to give this pasta some flavor. Of course my husband suggested meat..haha. I read through all the comments on the original recipe post and didn’t get any ideas.

If you try out this recipe, let me know how it turns out! If you have any ideas on how to make it more flavorful, comment below. The secret may just be the nutritional yeast.
