I am usually not a huge pasta fan and ever since I am eating a plant based diet, I felt like the only option is pasta with marinara! Was I wrong and so happy when this pesto pasta recipe turned out divine, rich, delicious and so filling. It is not just delicious but the sauce is done in 5 min and is cheese free!
1 pound whole grain or gluten free pasta of your choice
1 bunch fresh basil
1/2 cup cashews or pine nuts
2 avocados
2tbsp lemon juice
3 gloves garlic
1/4- 1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the pasta for 15 min or until al dente.
Process all the other ingredients ( besides the tomatoes) in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you want to use less oil just substitute half the oil with water. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Toss the sauce over the warm pasta and add sun dried tomatoes or any other vegetable that you might like.
Enjoy
