I don't know!
I followed a recipe from Instagram yesterday for a vegan, white bean pasta sauce. It was easy to make and it tasted okay, but too bland. Usually, I can figure out what it's missing, but this time, I'm drawing a blank. I added salt, garlic powder and more nutritional yeast and fresh herbs than the recipe called for, but that wasn't enough. Maybe some extra salt next time and add some pepper... or a nice amount of fresh garlic cloves could help? I'm thinking of adding some vegan bacon, diced onions and garlic next time. Still have a jar left in the freezer.
I don't know, I don't feel like I've thought of the right way to improve this yet. Very frustrating!
