High-Protein Vegan Pesto Pasta

Step 1

Heat water for the pasta in a medium pot and bring it to a boil while preparing your pesto.

Step 2

Once your water is boiling, add the dry pasta and cook according to package instructions.

Step 3

Within five minutes before your pasta is done, add your vegetables (zucchini, green peas and asparagus) into the same pot.

Step 4

When this time has elapsed, drain everything and put your cooked pasta and vegetables back into your pot or large serving bowl.

Step 5

Scoop your bean pesto on top of the cooked pasta and veggies, and mix well to combine. Be careful not to mash anything up at this point!

Step 6

Divide between serving bowls and garnish with nutritional yeast, basil, lemon juice and pine nuts.
