Vegan🌱Spinach Pesto Pasta
【Vegan🌱Spinach Pesto Pasta】
You don't have fresh basil?
Don't worry! You can make pesto with spinach and dried basil!
This is what I've been making for a long time when out of basil season. It's a great alternative to immitate basil pesto that I've been loving.
This incredible recipe is super easy and quick so even when you don't have much time to cook, this could help you.
For parmesan cheese, I use my homemade vegan parmesan cheese so it gives cheesy flavor and makes it even more delicious! So definitely you should add in!
After blending spinach, dried basil and a little bit of cashew milk in a high speed blender, cook with diced onions and mushrooms in heated olive oil until water evaporates in half.
Then add in vegan parmesan cheese.
Mix with cooked spaghetti.
If you have fresh basil, you can totally use it all or half spinach half basil as you like! That is also delicious! It's just that this recipe is mainly for those of you hardly can obtain fresh basil due to inaccessibility.
Alright,
Here is the recipe card for you.
I hope you guys would love this!
