Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. While the pasta is cooking, wash and chop all your vegetables. Dice the onions and finely chop the garlic.
Step 2
In a pot on medium heat, sauté the onions for 5 minutes, until softened, using vegetable broth to deglaze the pan as needed. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the cooked garlic and onions, silken tofu, nutritional yeast, baby spinach, basil and soy milk to a blender. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Set this sauce aside for later.
Step 4
Return to the pot and sauté the mushrooms for a couple of minutes using vegetable broth to deglaze as needed. Add the chopped broccoli, the stem part of the chopped asparagus and a tsp of salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the asparagus tops and cook for another couple of minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still slightly firm.
Step 5
Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta and sauce to the pot. Cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce is heated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Separate the pasta into serving bowls and top each with arugula, a squeeze of lemon, and plant-based feta (optional). Enjoy your nutrient-packed, delicious pasta dish.
