\"Vegan<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I recently shared my recipe for a vegan arugula pesto<\/a> online, I knew one thing for sure: there had to be a pesto pasta. And here is the result (one that brings back memories of my student days)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this vegan pasta with pesto, I wanted to keep it simple but still give it a little upgrade. That's why I used whole grain pasta and added peas and arugula \u2013 for more substance, a touch of freshness, and an extra portion of plant-based protein. The result is a super simple dish that comes together in just a few minutes<\/strong>, yet still brings everything to the table: creamy, savory, and really satisfying<\/strong>. Exactly the kind of recipe you'll cook again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n
