This recipe is inspired by a Bon Appetit recipe I saw a few weeks ago that looked like a delicious and dairy free way to achieve a creamy pasta sauce, using the cheap and hearty white bean. I love that this recipe doesn’t involve blending or any fancy tools or ingredients. Anyone can make this…

Lemon Asparagus Pasta
Lemon + garlic + basil is like the trio of the heavens. I am *hands down* always in the mood for these flavors, and always will be. All three are super bright, fresh, and vibrant. Whenever I want a light pasta dish that tickles the taste buds, I head to lemon/garlic/basil town and call it…
Pasta Puttanesca
When I first saw this recipe, I thought it was too good to be true. I couldn’t imagine it would be possible to get perfectly cooked pasta through this one-pot method — but lo and behold, all you do is add all the ingredients to a pot and boil for ten minutes, and voila! This…
Mushroom Wonton Ravioli
I love shortcuts. I’m a big fan of anything that makes my life easier and less complicated. While I can recognize that sometimes it might be therapeutic or an enjoyable challenge to take the long road by, say, making your own fresh vegan pasta dough, I also very much prefer finding little tricks that save…
Orzo Salad with Chickpeas
We had a half empty box of orzo in our cabinet for a couple of weeks (months maybe?). I had bought it as an ingredient for another recipe and didn’t have any other use for it. I decided to get creative and think up ways to use this cute little orzo pasta. A pasta salad…
Lentil Bolognese with Zoodles
I don’t have a spiralizer and I don’t mind because my grocery store almost always has pre-spiraled veggies available to buy for a reasonable price. It saves me time, mess, and physical effort and means I can spend more time and energy on the sauce! Although with this lentil bolognese sauce, it hardly takes any…
Spicy Marinara with White Beans
This semi-homemade spicy marinara will become your go-to pasta sauce, I promise you. A little kick of thai red curry paste heightens all of the flavors of the tomato sauce, and will literally “spice up” pasta night! And it’s so simple to make. Even if you don’t usually like spicy food, I encourage you to…
Sweet Potato Gnocchi
I’ll be the first to admit that this gnocchi is rustic, but I believe that it has more character than all the annoyingly perfect-shaped gnocchis out there! I think I cut mine too big, so don’t allow your gnocchis to be such huge giant golf balls when you make your own imperfect version of this recipe. 😂🙈…
Pasta with Kale and Sundried Tomatoes
Want to up your pasta game? A classic dish of pasta is always delicious, but can be made so much better by adding just a few extra ingredients. I’m guilty of having pasta for dinner whenever I can’t decide what to make or when I feel like we have “nothing” in the house. If you’re…
Pasta Alfredo with Mushrooms and Peas
When I first went vegan, I thought for sure that I’d have to give up creamy sauces like alfredo. I never even imagined that I would be able to eat, let alone cook!, something so creamy and wonderful. Once I started looking further into vegan cooking methods, I learned that you can make cheesy sauces…
