I’m obsessed with this vegan pesto pasta. The taste is truly incredible. It’s made with my divine vegan pesto sauce that I never get tired of eating. You can keep it very simple and use only vegan pesto, the dish will be amazing with just that. You can also add vegetables that bring some freshness to the creamy sauce, like green peas, broccoli or cherry tomatoes. Just have in mind that adding vegetables will dilute the sauce a little bit. So perhaps if you decide to add vegetables, add them sparingly. I recommend using fusilli as the pasta in this dish because they coat evenly with a heavier sauce like this vegan pesto.
This vegan pesto pasta is a perfect choice for a dinner where you want to impress your guests with a vegan dish. The outstanding taste of my vegan pesto will make this meal memorable. The best part is you won’t have a lot of work to prepare this mouth-watering meal. You can even prepare vegan pesto and cashew parmesan in advance, then just cook the pasta, coat it with the sauce and finish with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan.
