Green Goddess Pasta

If you’re looking for new ways to enjoy your pasta this summer, this creamy green goddess dressing is the recipe for you.

The sauce is made with coconut milk, fresh spinach, basil, nutritional yeast, and a few other flavorings. It’s vegan friendly, and goes well with any pasta you enjoy.

This dish is delicious on it’s own, but would pair well with grilled salmon, a fresh side salad, and some roasted vegetables. Serve it warm or cold for the perfect comfort meal!

How to make creamy green goddess dressing

The simple green goddess sauce is so delicious on your choice of pasta. It’s vegan friendly, and packed with so many flavors.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Full-fat coconut milk
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Pesto, you can use regular or dairy-free
  • Fresh spinach and basil
  • Garlic

My favorite pasta for this recipe is cavatappi, but you can substitute any gluten-free variety you enjoy.
