Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles, (or pasta of choice)
- ½ cup reserved pasta water
- 2 cups green peas, (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ cup olive oil, (plus 1 tablespoon for pan)
- ½ onion , diced
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 cup full-fat unsweetened coconut cream, (or full-fat coconut milk)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Black pepper to taste
- (Optional) 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, until it is al dente. Strain, but reserve ½ cup pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot and add reserved pasta water, tossing the pasta to help it not stick together.
- Meanwhile, place peas (fresh or frozen) in a microwave-safe bowl and add 1 cup water. Heat in the microwave for 4 minutes. Strain the water and pour the peas to a high-speed blender.
- Heat a small pan over medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, followed by onion and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Add the sauteed onion and garlic to the blender.
- Next, add coconut cream, lemon juice, and ¼ cup olive oil to the blender. Blend until mostly smooth.
- Pour the pea sauce onto the pasta. Add salt and black pepper and toss to combine. Best when served right away!
Notes
To Store: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
To Reheat: This pasta is best served right away, but if you're eating leftovers, I recommend adding some olive oil to the pasta when reheating in the microwave so it is not dry.
