High Protein Creamy Pesto Pasta (vegan, gluten-fre High Protein Creamy Pesto Pasta (vegan, gluten-free) 💚

This high protein creamy pesto pasta is super easy to make and so comforting. The sauce comes together in just a few minutes while the pasta is cooking (especially if you use store bought pesto). It is perfect for those busy nights when you want to feed your family a quick and healthy meal. The silken tofu makes it so creamy and high in protein, but I promise you can’t taste it! Make it for St. Patrick’s Day for a fun green dinner without the food dyes 🙌. Recipe is below, so make sure to hit save! 💫

Ingredients:
1 lb pasta (use gluten-free if needed)
16 oz silken tofu
3/4 cup vegan pesto (about 180 g)
scant 1/2 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast 
1 large handful of spinach
1/2 cup vegan parmesan, plus more for topping 

Cook your pasta according to package’s directions. While the pasta is cooking, add the rest of the ingredients except the vegan parmesan to a blender. Blend until smooth. The sauce will taste really salty at first, but once you add it to the pasta, it will balance out. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Top with extra parmesan when serving. Enjoy!
