Vegan Wild Garlic Pasta
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:

Recipe Reviews
Switched out the pasta for some penne instead since I like penne more, it was really good.
The pesto was kinda hard to perfect but it tasted great nonetheless when I figured it out, thx.
Vegan once again!! So happy to see all the vegan recipes on this website, i made this and the vegan banana bread today, mm mm, yummy!
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.
The lemon juice made this kinda zesty but i liked it.
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.
I loved this dish so much added some sun dried tomatos and vegan cheese.
Hubby isn't a fan of vegan food cause he thinks it all taste like dirt or grass,LOL he tried this though and was obsessed, at the whole bowl.
Great recipe thanks for sharing, 5 stars from me.
Was sort've dry and not too flavourful but my husband enjoyed it so i'll be making it for him.
Love this vegan pasta more than life!! Melted in my mouth, honestly the best.
Had this for my anniversary with some wine and it was purrrfection!
My kids love this pasta so much so they get this proper meal every spaghetti Monday :)
Anyone know what I can add to this dish? It's so good and I'm looking to explore more ways to eat this daily lol.
Skipped the sunflower seeds in this pasta cause I didn't think it'd be good but everything else was great.
Ohh my god this was heaven on Earth tysm for sharing it.
Noodles were uncooked for me when I followed the time so had to remake it all over again, worth it though cause it taste great.
Easy and healthy vegan pasta, perfect for any lunch if you ask me with some garlic bread.
Delicious and simple to make, really enjoyed this healthy vegan pasta, will be making it again.
Colorful and delicious dish!
