Pasta with Peas & Asparagus: Ready in under 30 minutes!

April 20, 2021 By jaclyn 1 Comment

If there’s one thing I love cooking (and eating) it has to be pasta. Honestly, I’ve considered niching down to just pasta at times, but then what would I do with all the cookies recipes 😉 One of the reasons I love pasta is because it cooks so quickly. Whenever I find myself wondering what to make for dinner, pasta is my go-to choice. And I love how spring forward this pasta with peas and asparagus recipe is. Tossed in a simple extra virgin olive oil and lemon dressing with a good sprinkle of parm, its light on ingredients but big on flavour. Don’t skip on the pistachio panko crunchy topping, it takes this dish to the next level.

As much as I love a creamy dairy filled sauce, sometimes, I also want a lighter version. And this creamy, dairy-free carrot pasta sauce is SO good, you won’t miss the cream or cheese at all. Made with roasted carrots, cashews and spices it’s extra creamy and also super bright and vibrant too. I love meal prepping a big batch of this and freezing leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner.

This is hands down the BEST vegan bolognese sauce I’ve ever made and tried. It’s got texture from the mushrooms and walnuts and so much umami flavour. And it’s surprisingly light. Because of the reliance on fresh tomatoes, it’s great for spring and summer. Serve it on top of any type of pasta you wish, or even use spiralized veggies.

Best ever?! Yeah, I went there. This recipe came to me during the time that is now known as Covid-19 quarantine.
