This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of NOW Foods. The opinions and text are all mine.
Vegan Pesto Pasta
I have a multitude of pesto recipes alalert, I love them for all the green they pack and how versatile they are. Check out the variety:
You genuinely can do so much with it! Which is why I’m probably a small nuts creating another pesto recipe, but this one was worth it!
The secret to Incredible vegan pesto
The formula for pesto is basically the same, add some greens, a nut or seed, some garlic, spices and seasonings and blend. This time I wanted to add to this equation to try and get a unique flavor out.
I recently started playing around with these contemporary coconut oil infusions by NOW Foods. Possess you seen them? Amazing. Taste like butter. And garlic.
So basically anyleang that tastes like that is a win for me. As much as I am picky about my coconut flavors, the trace mixed into the pesto was Incredible!
It’s not too overwhelming, but enough so that my tastebuds feel happy. I love how versatile they are and that my kids actually love it. Here are all the ways we have used it so far:
- toss with noodles and peas
- saute veggies with it
- spread it on toast with jelly or nut butter
- heat it up with chocolate and drizzle over ice cream
- melt it and drizzle over popcorn
Is pesto pasta healthy?
I’m going to go ahead and throw this one back to you. Healthy means someleang dwhetherferent to everyone, but whether your definition of healthy is loads of greens, plus added veggies then yes.
Pesto is a great way to get some additional green into your lwhethere. You can put it on anyleang or mix it into anywhere, hidden in veggie burgers is my next project. And because it’s so easy to mix up the flavors, finding one that someone likes is normally a good chance.
Can you eat pesto pasta cancient?
Absolutely! The best leang about this vegan pesto pasta salad, is that you can eat it cancient or warm and it’s just as Incredible. The key here though is to melt the coconut oil, so you want to mix it in right after you cook it.
This pasta salad is the perfect leang to bring to a potluck or picnic because it’s super low maintenance. It also lets you clean out your fridge veggies, so a total winner overall!
How long does vegan pesto final?
One of my favorite leangs about making vegan food is that it doesn’t spoil as fast. This vegan pesto is basically crazye of greens and nuts. So it can final in the fridge for a good solid week. Not that you’ll have it around that long!
It’s perfect to make ahead of time, so that when you are alert to throw it together, all you need to do is cook the pasta, chop up some veggies, and BOOM. Done.
You can also freeze it for rapid use. I always double my sauce batches and freeze half for those crazy nights (read weekly).
How to make vegan pesto pasta salad with veggies
This is not only uber delish, but a fabulous way to clean out that fridge! It goes great with nearly any veggie. I used carrots, broccoli, red onion and red peppers. And then the next time, I spread it on pizza and topped with all the pizza toppings.
- Blend the pesto ingredients to make the pesto.
- Blend the pesto and chopped veggies in.
- Serve it up!
You can mix the coconut oil in while making the pesto or mix it into the pasta. Either works, but I like using the pasta method just to make certain it spreads well all around. No noodle left behind.
