  • 40 gr pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 lemon - the juice
  • 1 avocado - cubed
  • salt and pepper
  • 250 gr VeggiPasta Spinach Campanelle
  • 150 gr green peas (frozen)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 box cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • PREPARATION
    In a food processor add garlic, rucola, pine nuts (keep some of the pine nuts as garnish), nutritional yeast and lime juice and blend to a coarse pesto.
    Add in avocado and give it a quick blitz.
    Season with salt and pepper.
    Boil pasta according to instructions on the package and add in green peas the last minute.
    Drain and set aside in a bowl and mix in pesto.
    Heat up olive oil in a pan and cook the cherry tomatoes for 2 minutes.
    Divide the pasta evenly between the plates and put the cherry tomatoes on top.
    Add the remaining pine nuts and some lime zest on each plate.
    Tip: If you have leftover rucola, also mix it with the pasta and pesto.
    Variation tip: instead of the nutritional yeast, you can also add in Parmesan Cheese. Needless to say, the recipe will no longer fully plant based.
    ENJOY!
