VEGAN CREAMY SPRING PEA ASPARAGUS PASTA



Vegan Creamy Spring Pea Asparagus Pasta image

This vegan creamy spring pea asparagus pasta is oh-so-satisfying and packed with fresh spring feel-good ingredients. A simple, garlicky vegan cauliflower-cashew alfredo sauce is tossed with sautéed asparagus and peas to create a rich, veggie-dotted sauce. The sauce is then tossed with heaps of warm fettuccine. A sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese is the finishing touch in this seasonal dish.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Sea salt as needed
12 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta (regular or gluten-free)
2 cups small, 1-inch fresh or frozen cauliflower florets
1 cup filtered water
1/3 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least two hours (unless using a high-speed blender)
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 recipe Vegan Parmesan ((optional but recommended))
Fresh lemon zest ((optional))

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon sea salt. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions (you want the pasta to have a nice al dente bite to it). Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 7 minutes, or until very fork-tender. Strain off the water.
  • Add the boiled cauliflower florets, filtered water, cashews, nutritional yeast, vinegar, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and black pepper to a blender (do not use a food processor). Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy. Set within reach of the stove.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over low heat. Add the asparagus and peas, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables just begin to soften. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
  • Stir in the cauliflower sauce, increase the heat to medium, and simmer for 2 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  • Turn off the heat, add the pasta to the pan, and toss to coat. If a slightly thinner sauce is desired, add a bit of the reserved cooking water, one small splash at a time, as needed to thin. (Note: If you add cooking water, you'll need to increase the seasoning to accommodate.)
  • Taste and generously season with more sea salt and black pepper, if desired.
  • Divide the pasta between bowls and top with the parmesan and lemon zest (if using). Serve immediately.

  • First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Before draining reserve 1 cup of pasta water to make reheating easier!
  • While the pasta is cooking, add garlic and onion with a tablespoon of olive oil to a pan. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes or until slightly golden.
  • Either to a food processor or to a high-speed blender, add drained and rinsed white beans, sautéed garlic & onion, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and nutritional yeast. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it looks too thick or you want a thinner sauce, add a bit more milk! It should be thick and creamy, yet very easy to pour.
  • In the pan that you sautéed the garlic and onion in, add the last 1 tablespoon of oil and add chopped asparagus and peas. Saute for 5-10 minutes, or until as tender as you'd like. If you'd like to steam the veggies instead, throw them in with the pasta a few minutes before the pasta is ready!

  • First, prep your vegetables. Then bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta for two minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in your largest frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  • Add the asparagus and garlic, season with salt, and cook until the asparagus is knife-tender and bright green (about 3 minutes). Stir in the peas and cook until the peas are bright green (about 2 minutes).
  • Add the drained pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss to coat. Cook until the sauce starts to coat the pasta (about 2 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and transfer its contents to a large serving bowl. Add the cheese and butter and stir to coat. (Add more pasta water as needed. The sauce should just cling to the pasta.)
