Vegan Pesto Pasta Salad with Veggies

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions. Mix in the coconut oil here if you don’t want to add it to the pesto.

Step 2

Place the spinach, broth, basil, garlic, almonds, lemon, crushed red pepper, salt, and ground black pepper into a food processor. Blend until chopped well but nut pureed. You can also mix the coconut oil in here instead of with the pasta later.

Step 3

Chop veggies of choice into bite sized pieces.

Step 4

Mix the oil with the pasta, then fold in the pesto followed by the vegetables. Serve warm or cold!
