France – Vegan French Onion Pasta with Edamame Spaghetti
France – A Country of Culinary TraditionsFrance is renowned for its diverse regional cuisine, centuries-old culinary traditions and appreciation of carefully prepared food. From rustic countryside dishes to refined restaurant cooking, French cuisine places great importance on developing flavor through ingredients and technique. Onions, butter, fresh herbs, cheese and rich stocks are familiar elements in many traditional preparations. One of the country's best-known comfort foods is Soupe à l'oignon, the classic French onion soup, especially associated with Parisian bistro cooking. What Is French Onion Pasta?French Onion Pasta is not a traditional French dish. It is a modern pasta creation inspired by the flavors of French onion soup, particularly its slowly caramelized onions, thyme, savory broth and melted cheese. Viral versions reinterpret these familiar ingredients as a creamy pasta sauce. My vegan variation uses Edamame Spaghetti, homemade vegetable stock, vegan cheddar-style cheese, nutritional yeast and plant-based cream. Apple cider vinegar replaces the acidity sometimes provided by wine, while lemon zest, nutmeg, toasted pine nuts and pistachios add my own personal touch.
