Spinach & Artichoke Creamy Pasta [vegan]

No need of cheese, cream or dairy .. a rich and silky cashew sauce is the secret to this vegan spinach & artichoke creamy pasta. This is such as satisfying dish with hearty artichokes and cannellini beans.

This recipe is inspired by spinach & artichoke dip which I discovered while living in the US. It has plenty of flavours and makes a quick and easy meal, as long as you remember to soak the cashews overnight.

Make sure you use the best quality grilled artichokes. For extra flavour, I use the oil the artichokes are preserved in to fry the vegetables in. My pasta of choice is wholewheat penne here but of course this vegan spinach & artichoke creamy pasta dish works with any kind of pasta.

Depending on how hungry you are, this recipe makes 4-6 portions. If you have any leftovers, they will keep for a few day in the fridge in an airtight container. This pasta dish is best reheated in the microwave to prevent it from drying out.
