Green Vegan Pasta (wfpb)
Main
This nutritious and delicious pasta is a super simple dish to make, when you'd like something homemade but don't really feel like cooking.
This pasta is so simple to make, but it's still very filling and nutritious. If you want more of a protein boost, you can use pasta made of chickpeas or lentils instead of that made of whole grains.
If you're in a rush, you can use frozen greens to skip washing and chopping. And don't skip the parmesan topping! You can use store bought parmesan, but I recommend making this quick homemade parmesan recipe that you can whip up before your pasta is done cooking.
