Bonus? This crowd-pleasing recipe is vegan, optionally gluten-free, and packed with vitamins and minerals (C, K, folate, iron, potassium, and more!). Let’s make pasta! This creamy pasta party kicks off with cooking your favorite pasta and (quickly!) soaking cashews to soften them and ensure a more neutral flavor. While you wait, there’s time to chop the shallot, garlic, and artichoke hearts and then blend up the cashews with lemon, salt, and nutritional yeast to create a “cheesy,” creamy sauce. When your pasta is done cooking, you can use your now-empty pasta pot (yay, fewer dishes!) to sauté the shallot, garlic, artichoke hearts, and spinach. This enhances their sweetness and removes some moisture for best flavor! Finish it off by adding your cooked pasta and the creamy cashew sauce, and stir it all up. And for an extra delicious final touch, garnish with vegan parmesan cheese and spicy red pepper flakes. Dinner is served! We hope you LOVE this spinach artichoke dip pasta! It’s:CreamySaucyGarlickyVeggie-packedEasy to make& SO delicious! With 17 grams of protein per serving, it’s a comforting, plant-based meal all on its own! It would also pair well with roasted asparagus or Brussels sprouts, or grilled chicken or shrimp if not vegan/vegetarian.
