About Pasta with vegan pesto

Pasta with vegan pesto is a plant-based twist on the classic Italian dish. This meal features pasta tossed with a vibrant, dairy-free pesto sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and almonds or cashews, creating a creamy, flavorful coating. Naturally rich in nutrients, the basil provides antioxidants, while the nuts contribute healthy fats and protein. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and nutritional yeast is a great source of B vitamins. Paired with whole-grain or legume-based pasta, the dish offers additional fiber and sustained energy. This vegan option omits traditional Parmesan cheese, making it suitable for those avoiding dairy or following a plant-based diet. While it’s rich in healthy fats, portion control is key to keeping calorie intake in check. Bright, herbaceous, and satisfying, it’s a wholesome choice for those seeking a delicious and nourishing meal with Italian-inspired roots.
