Speaking of comfort food, what's better than white sauce pasta? Well, if we made it plant-based, of course! 🤩
This recipe screams comfort thanks to its super smooth and creamy sauce created by beans whizzed in the blender 🧀
Tip: We've used cannellini beans though butter beans or haricot beans would be just as tasty.
Here's what you need: ✍️
350g pasta, we used spaghetti
400g tinned white beans
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp dijon mustard
4 tbsp oat milk
4 tbsp grated vegan hard cheese, grated
1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tsp nigella seeds
How to make it: ✍️
Boil the pasta according to packet instructions. Drain and reserve a mug of pasta water.
Meanwhile, drain the beans and reserve any liquid from the tin.
Tip the beans and 4 tbsp reserved liquid into the bowl of a food processor, along with the crushed garlic, dijon mustard, oat milk and most of the grated cheese. Whizz for 2 minutes, until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Scrape the sauce into the empty pasta pan and set over a low heat to warm through.
Tip the pasta into the pan and stir to fully coat in sauce; add a little reserved pasta cooking water to get to your preferred level of creaminess.
Divide the pasta between serving bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley, nigella seeds, remaining grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper to serve.
