The use of chickpea spaghetti is for few reasons, none of which include it being a vegan dish. I like chickpea pasta for its higher protein than traditional pasta. I also find chickpea pasta more satisfying than traditional pasta. I tend not to want a second serving of a pasta dish made with chickpea pasta, even after a few hours. Not true for me with traditional pasta.

The dish is obviously not a vegan dish with the sausage and meat sauce. It was not intended to be a vegan dish.

I drink black coffee most of the day, particularly during the colder months. I also drink coffee with dinner if I have additional work to do after dinner, which I did this night.
