On occasion I make something that is additional exceptional. Something apparently basic, however with flavors that sing. What's more, today, this veggie lover spinach pesto pasta is joining the positions.
When I previously made this spinach pesto pasta formula I thought I was going to require a pound of pasta to be sauced by the about half pound of spinach I was mixing. In any case, oh dear… I generally disparage spinach's capacity to decrease down to a little volume. This is really something to be thankful for on the grounds that this around 4-serving formula is pressed with an astounding 6 measures of spinach and ideal for any individual who needs to expand the volume of greens in his/her eating regimen.
There's no precluding the flavor from claiming great pesto. Be that as it may, I take my pesto in an alternate course nowadays, for a few reasons… the undeniable one being cheddar. What's more, the second one being the high amount of oil in most pesto formulas. That doesn't sit well with my stomach, so I thought of my own veggie lover turns on pesto with increasingly adjusted measures of fat and included nourishment from vegetables.
In any case, to coat the pasta to my preferring despite everything I make a point to keep some lavishness in there and in this vegetarian spinach pesto formula that wealth originates from crude cashews, which make for a rich surface, and a sprinkle of nondairy milk (which likewise helps for mixing the majority of that spinach down).
You may as of now have everything with the exception of the spinach and cashews close by to make this vegetarian pesto pasta. Alright, in case you're a bad-to-the-bone vegetarian you may have the cashews as well. Appreciate!

Easy vegan spinach pesto pasta, made with a fresh pesto full of spinach with hints of basil and lemon. Healthy recipe that comes together in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
For the vegan spinach pesto:
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (you could also try toasted pine nuts, walnuts, etc.)
- 6 cups loosely packed spinach leaves (6 oz.)
- 1 small bunch basil (0.75 oz.) thick stems removed
- 1/4 cup plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt scant
- pepper to taste
For the vegan spinach pesto pasta:
- 8 oz pasta of choice (I used shells)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion (or 1 shallot), diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
Instructions
Make the pasta:
- Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil, and cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain it, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Do not rinse.
Make the vegan spinach pesto:
- Add the cashews to your food processor and pulse a few times until crumbled.
- Add the spinach, basil, nondairy milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and continue to pulse, stopping to stir and scrape the sides if needed, until the spinach and basil are finely chopped.
- Add more lemon juice to taste if desired, and set aside.
Put the finishing touches on the vegan spinach pesto pasta:
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion or shallot and a sprinkle of salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and browning slightly. (Note: to save time, you can begin this step while the pasta is still cooking).
- Add the garlic and cook for just about 60 seconds more, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, and pesto and fold everything together gently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened slightly and clings to the pasta, and is warm throughout. Remove from the heat and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve warm. The pasta is best eaten immediately; fold in a light drizzle of olive oil before storing leftovers and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
