Let me show you how quick a healthy vegan dinner can be made.
This pesto pasta is one of my go-to recipes when I don't have much time on my hands. Making healthy meals should not have to take hours.
Vibrant green pasta with 8 ingredients, flavorful, healthy, delicious, and made in no time. Hard to beat that.
I've been sitting on this recipe for a while now, and frankly, I don't know why I didn't share with you earlier. In the first year of my veganism, I've been making this pesto pasta over and over again. And that was before I knew how versatile plant-based food could be.
Nowadays I'm not making it as often, but from time to time, when I have zero inspiration or time for spending meal preparing, pesto pasta is my savior.
