Pea Pasta
A quick and creamy vegan pasta dish made with blended green peas, lime, and simple seasonings—ready in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta (any type, gluten-free if needed)
- 4 cups frozen green peas (thawed)
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (lemon juice is a good substitute)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated onion powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste (or salt if you don’t have miso)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini (or alternatives like soaked cashews or olive oil)
- 1/3 cup filtered water (or more as needed for thinning the sauce)
- to taste vegan parmesan (optional)
- to taste freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
- to taste fresh herbs, lemon zest, or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Thaw the frozen peas by microwaving them for a minute or steaming them. In a blender, combine the peas, lime juice, onion powder, garlic powder, miso, tahini, and filtered water. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and toss until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add more water or reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with vegan parmesan, black pepper, fresh herbs, or lemon zest as desired.
