INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
150g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 cup Zucchini, chopped
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
On a baking sheet, toss red bell pepper and zucchini with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the chickpeas and gently warm them through.
In a blender, combine the firm tofu, fresh basil, fresh parsley, a handful of baby spinach, and a small portion of water (or reserved pasta water) to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Once the pasta is cooked, toss it with the roasted vegetables, warmed chickpeas, and the creamy herb sauce until well combined.
Fold in the remaining baby spinach and gently mix in the shelled edamame to distribute evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, creamy vegan pasta!
