This Vegan Spinach Spaghetti recipe is a vibrant and flavorful way to incorporate greens. Protein-packed pasta gets tossed in a creamy spinach pasta sauce and garnished with almond parmesan. It’s a healthy green pasta recipe that’s ready in minutes & tastes like a gourmet dish.

Vibrant in color, packed with nutrition, & ready in a matter of minutes. This Vegan Spinach Spaghetti recipe will quickly become a family favorite.

Even though the main ingredient in this recipe is spinach, you can’t taste it. Promise! Thanks to the addition of raw cashews, fresh basil, & nutritional yeast, it results in a super creamy spinach pasta sauce. 

While this healthy green pasta recipe calls for traditional spaghetti, you can include your favorite. I highly recommend protein pasta from the brands Chickapea or Tolerant. It tastes just as good and you get the protein benefits.

 Ingredients

• Organic Spinach: Duh?! Fresh or frozen will do the job! 
• Organic Raw Cashews: Cashews provide the most creamy consistency to the green sauce. Simply soak the cashews to soften then blend!
• Organic Parmesan Cheese: We’ll be using homemade almond parmesan in place of traditional parmesan to sprinkle over the pasta.
• Organic Seasonings: We’re keeping it simple here, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, & black pepper!
• Organic Lemon: Freshly squeezed into the sauce to add some zesty flavors.
• Organic Fresh Basil: For topping & for blending. Please don’t use dried!
• Organic Pasta: I love using pasta that is made with 3 ingredients – organic chickpea flour, organic yellow lentil flour, organic red lentil flour! Plus, this spaghetti is packed with protein! My favorite brand is Chickapea.

How To Make 

1. Pasta. Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Blend. Add the sauce ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth & creamy.
3. Combine. Pour the green sauce into a pot, along with the cooked pasta, and toss to combine. If needed, add in a little filtered water to loosen the sauce.
4. Almond Parmesan. To a food processor, add all the parmesan ingredients. Process until completely broken up and a fine powder forms, about 30 seconds.
5. Serve. Divide between bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of the almond parmesan and fresh basil, if desired. Enjoy!
