Ingredients 

  • 200 g 7 oz pasta, I used fusilli. Use gluten-free if needed
  • 200 g 7 oz asparagus, stalks, cut into 2-3cm pieces - we'll only use the upper parts, which are more tender. you can keep the lower halves too, cut them into thin slices and use them for soups or risotto
  • 4 garlic cloves sliced
  • a handful of fresh basil
  • 2 Tbsp green pesto homemade or store-bought
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 250 ml 1 cup vegan soy cream - I always use the soy one from Alpro
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
  • Add the olive oil to a pan. Add the sliced garlic and asparagus. Sautee for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.
  • Set the heat to a minimum and add the pesto, fresh basil (chopped), soy cream, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, add them to the pan and mix. If needed, fix the consistency with a little pasta water.
