vegan Spinach Pesto Pasta
Serves: 3–4 (or 4–6 if served with salad or sides) | Time: 15 minutes
A quick and easy pasta dish that feels fresh and nourishing.
Walnuts aren’t just delicious, they’re one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain and heart health. Paired with spinach (iron + vitamin C) and nutritional yeast (B vitamins), this pasta is as nourishing as it is satisfying.
Ingredients
1 package spaghetti
½ cup walnuts (or cashews for a nut-free option)
½ cup plant based milk
1 cup spinach
10 basil leaves
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions.
While pasta cooks, add all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Drain pasta and toss with sauce. Serve immediately.
*Tip: Delicious topped with sliced avocado and a handful of chopped nuts for extra creaminess and crunch.
