Step 1

To make vegan pasta with peas, start by bringing water to a boil in a small pot or kettle.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in another pot, heat up olive oil over medium heat, and add your chopped onions, stirring constantly, until translucent.

Step 3

Next, add green peas (you can use frozen), some salt, black pepper and a few ladles of hot water from your other pot, and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Then, you'll create your pea pasta sauce by transferring most of the peas to a blender and blending them. Add the mixture back to your pan or strain the pea sauce back into the pan using a fine mesh sieve to get a smooth sauce.

Step 5

Afterwards, add a few more ladles of boiling hot water, and your uncooked pasta. You can also add your extra greens (like kale). By cooking your pasta in the sauce, it allows the starch from the pasta to make the sauce creamy and delicious while the pasta absorbs the flavour of the peas.

Step 6

Add more cooking water to just cover the pasta and cook the pasta stirring constantly. The pasta will start to absorb the water, so keep adding some as needed and cook your pasta until al dente.

Step 7

In the last couple minutes of cooking, mix in your vegan cheese of choice. To make your cheese crumbly, run it through a food processor to make it super crumbly. Optionally, add unsweetened soy creamer to the sauce for a creamier sauce. Mix your pasta with peas until the cheese is melted.
