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!
