👩🏻‍🍳 Directions

• Cook the Pasta

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. If using broccoli, add it to the boiling pasta for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

• Make the Green Goddess Sauce

  • In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, basil, parsley, cilantro, plant-based yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Blend until smooth, adding water a little at a time to reach your desired consistency. The sauce should be creamy but pourable.

• Assemble the Pasta

  • In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the green goddess sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to help coat the noodles evenly.
  • Add baby spinach and toss until slightly wilted.

• Serve and Garnish

  • Plate the pasta and top with vegan Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, extra herbs, and lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.

• Enjoy! Serve chilled and indulge in a guilt-free chocolate treat.
