Cook the whole grain pasta according to package instructions. Make sure not to overcook it, as we want it al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, let‘s prepare the green sauce. In a blender, add the fresh spinach, basil, garlic, cashews, nutritional yeast, and olive oil.
Blend these ingredients until smooth. You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything gets blended properly.
Now, let‘s prepare the protein. In a pan, sauté your chosen protein source (like chickpeas or edamame) until it‘s crispy and golden.
By this time, your pasta should be cooked. Drain it and return it back to the pan.
Pour the green sauce over the cooked pasta. Mix well to ensure every piece of pasta is coated in the sauce.
Add the sautéed protein to the pan and stir everything together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Your Vegan Green Pasta is ready to be served! Enjoy it while it‘s warm.
