Step 1

Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the minced garlic.

Step 2

Add the bread crumbs to it once the garlic is slightly burnt. Toss it for 5 minutes. The crumbs will turn crispy.

Step 3

Take it off the flame and add parsley, grated vegan Parmesan cheese, and pepper.

Step 4

Mix and keep it aside for now. You can also make this in advance and store it in the fridge.

Step 5

Now it's time to make the Breadcrumbs Pasta Salad.

Step 6

Cook pasta as per instructions on the packet. Strain the water and keep it aside for now.

Step 7

In the same pan, add olive oil, mushrooms, and edamame. Saute till all the water from the mushrooms is evaporated. This could take a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Add salt, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasonings. Saute for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Next add the cooked pasta and mix lightly. Lastly, add the bread crumbs mixture, toss them all together and cook for another minute.

Step 10

Garnish with some dairy-free Parmesan cheese, lemon/orange zest, and oregano. Serve this vegan pasta dish warm with some hot soup and/or breadsticks or maybe some wine!
