Vegan Wild Garlic Pasta

Recipe Description

This Vegan Wild Garlic Pasta is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make in springtime during wild garlic season. In the park near our home, there is a large patch of wild garlic which I visit regularly each year in springtime. When I come home with a large bag of foraged wild garlic, the first thing I make is wild garlic pesto which I serve with spaghetti.

While the spaghetti is cooking, I add wild garlic, sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, salt, olive oil and lemon juice to a food processor. I blend until I have a smooth green pesto. Once the spaghetti is cooked, I drain it and mix through the pesto. There you have it, a delicious meal in only 15 minutes!

To make Vegan Wild Garlic Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:

Switched out the pasta for some penne instead since I like penne more, it was really good.

Instead of the olive oil i switched it out for sunflower would recommend doing the same as it adds to the flavour.

Taste like grass so not really my thing, it was easy to make though but I'll stick to the spaghetti with broccoli.

Added a bit more salt to mine because I figured it wasn't enough, next time I won't be doing that, listen to the ingridents guys, this is no joke!! You don't want to go off the book cause it will taste funny.
