VEGAN LEMON FLORENTINE PASTA

I’m excited to share a recipe today with you all that is so perfect for summer, while keeping things healthy and fresh, but a filling weeknight dinner. This pasta is inspired by Italian cuisine. Florentine dishes mean that spinach is a main ingredient to the dish. Many Florentine dishes are chicken served on a bed of spinach or pasta dishes. You may have heard of chicken Florentine before. Well, this is my vegan-inspired take on a Florentine pasta.

I wanted it to be fresh and vibrant, so lemon is always a welcome choice. Fresh spinach, fresh basil, with lots of garlic round out the flavors. I created a cashew lemon milk sauce that thickens and gets super creamy to coat the pasta in a magical way.

GLUTEN-FREE PASTA

Y’all know how much I love pasta. We eat it weekly. They are some of my most popular recipes. I’ve worked with Explore Cuisine before and love how they offer several gluten-free pasta varieties. They have different bean pastas like lentils, black bean and even chickpea or brown rice pastas. Today, I’m sharing my recipe using their chickpea fusilli pasta. They asked me to create an Italian-inspired pasta dish and I jumped at the chance.

I eat wheat pasta regularly and absolutely love it. Now, fyi, chickpea pasta does not taste like wheat. So, if you are used to wheat, it is a bit different, but it held onto this delicious sauce beautifully, while keeping its shape, which I really enjoyed. Sometimes gluten-free pastas completely fall apart or get mushy. This is what I like about Explore Cuisine pastas, they never get mushy or fall apart. If you cook them for the recommended time on the box, you are good to go!

Great things about the Explore Cuisine brand:

  • healthy gluten-free options
  • packed high in protein and fiber
  • Many varieties of pasta, including beans, lentils and chickpeas
  • organic, non-GMO and vegan
  • healthy, fresh and cook fast
  • different shapes and styles to suit your individual tastes

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN LEMON FLORENTINE PASTA

First, you will need to gather these 8 ingredients:

  • fusilli pasta
  • fresh garlic
  • onion
  • dry white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio)
  • spinach
  • fresh basil
  • cashews
  • fresh lemon juice

Begin boiling a large pot of salted water and add the pasta once boiling.

While waiting on the pasta water, make the lemon cashew milk. This will be the main part of the sauce, so you want to make it exactly as written. It will be very watery after blending, but cooking it will cause it to really thicken up and become wonderfully creamy. Store-bought cashew milk will not work here or produce the same result. Store-bought is full of fillers and little cashews, so trying it, you will end up with a bland, gross watery sauce, so you must use the cashew recipe here for it to work.

If you do not own a Vitamix or an equally powerful blender, you must soak the cashews overnight so they become really soft.

To a large, deep pan, add the onion and 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Cook 5-8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and 2 more tablespoons of water as needed to keep the garlic cooking and not burn. Cook for just about a minute.

Add the wine and cook for about 3 minutes until it has reduced by about half.

Add the cashew lemon milk and spinach and reduce to medium heat. Stir continuously until the spinach has wilted and cooked down and the sauce has thickened into a nice, thick and creamy sauce. This will take about 5 minutes. Top with the fresh basil and Vegan Lemon Parmesan Cheese!

CAN THIS BE MADE NUT-FREE?

If you are allergic to cashews, you can try subbing with raw sunflower seeds. I have not tested this personally, so I’m not sure of how the flavor will taste, but I think with the strong lemon notes, it might be okay. Let me know if you try the sunflower version.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz box Explore Cuisine pasta (I used their chickpea fusilli, use whatever you like or if you can't do chickpeas)

CASHEW LEMON MILK

  • 3/4 cup (105g) raw, unsalted cashews + 1 1/2 cups (360g) water (see directions)
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt + 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

REMAINING INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 packed cup (70g) finely diced white or yellow onion
  • 5 large cloves garlic, minced (15g)
  • 3/4 cup (180g) dry white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
  • 5 oz (153g) package fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 packed cup (10g) chiffonade basil

NOTE

  • Store-bought cashew milk will not work here or produce the same result. Store-bought is full of fillers and little cashews, so trying it, you will end up with a bland, gross watery sauce, so you must use the cashew recipe here for it to work.

Instructions
 

  • If you do not own a Vitamix or an equally powerful blender, you must soak the cashews overnight in a bowl covered with water so they become really soft. Drain and rinse them and proceed. Otherwise, you will end up with a gritty sauce. Using the soaked cashews version, I suggest blending the sauce in a food processor, as opposed to a standard non-powerful blender, as I find sauces get smoother and creamier this way (if not using a Vitamix blender).
  • Begin boiling a large pot of salted water and add the pasta once boiling. Cook according to the package.
  • While waiting on the pasta water, make the lemon cashew milk. Add the cashews, 1 1/2 cups water, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the blender or if using the soaked cashews, add all to a food processor. Blend until 100% smooth and no bits of nuts remain. It should be very watery, but smooth. Set aside. It will be very watery after blending, but cooking it will cause it to really thicken up and become wonderfully creamy.
  • To a large, deep pan, add 1/4 cup water over medium heat. Once simmering, add the onion and cook 5-8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and 2 more tablespoons of water as needed to keep the garlic cooking and not burn. Cook for just about a minute.
  • Add the wine and cook for about 3 minutes until it has reduced by about half.
  • Add the cashew lemon milk and spinach and reduce to medium heat. Stir continuously until the spinach has wilted and cooked down and the sauce has thickened into a nice, thickened creamy sauce. This will take about 5 minutes. Cook longer if needed for it to thicken. It should be the consistency of an alfredo, no longer watery, but not overly thick. Remove from the heat. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
  • Serve desired amounts of sauce over pasta. To chiffonade basil, stack several large leaves of basil on top of each other. Roll them up into a tight roll. Use a very sharp knife to slice down the roll into thin strips. Sprinkle this basil all over the finished dish just before serving. Adding some freshly ground black pepper is nice too. For additional flavor and lemon boost, add my Lemon Parmesan Cheese!

Notes

If you are allergic to cashews, you can try subbing with raw sunflower seeds. I have not tested this personally, so I’m not sure of how the flavor will taste, but I think with the strong lemon notes, it might be okay. I’m not sure if it will thicken up the same as the cashews though. Cashews thicken up REALLY well when heated. Let me know if you try the sunflower version.

    This looks so good! I adore pasta. I also love chick peas, so chick pea pasta would be really interesting to try. I’ve been a spectator for a long time. I think it’s time I finally put one of these recipes to the test!

      Thank you Heather! Chickpea pasta is very different from wheat, so just be prepared it does not taste like traditional pasta in terms of taste or texture! It does hold its shape well though!

      Hi Erika, it adds flavor, but since this one has a bright lemony flavor, you are fine to skip it. 3/4 cup of wine is cooked down to reduce the liquid by half, so you can just replace it with maybe 1/2 cup broth or skip it all together and when you add the milk, it will likely thicken up faster because of this.

    Made this dinner tonight and I loved it! I didn’t have the wine, so I just omitted it. To cut down on cost and fat, I used half cashews and half cannellini beans. It still tasted super creamy. Next time I have to try it with the wine! I topped with your lemon parmesan cheese. That cheese is the best vegan parmesan recipe I’ve ever tried! Do much easier than having to put cashews in the food processor.

      Wonderful, so glad to hear that Nina! Oh goodness, so glad you mentioned the parmesan, I meant to add that to the dish and add it for the photos and totally forgot, I was kicking myself, lol. But I meant to add it as an optional topping because I figured it would just further set off that yummy lemony flavor, so I’m glad to hear you did it! And so glad it is your favorite!

    Made this for dinner tonight. Love it. I followed the recipe as written and served it alone, but I might add other vegetables next time on the side or mixed in while plating such as peas, steamed broccoli, or tomatoes (so many ways to vary). I really like a meal that is simple to make and so flavorful. Thank you Brandi!

    If you soak the cashews overnight, do you reduce the 1-1/2C water that is blended with them to make the sauce? I see that you drain the excess water after soaking.

      June 25, 2019 at 6:59 pm

      Hi Bri! No, you follow step 3 where you add the cashews (dry or if you soaked them) plus the 1 1/2 cups water to the blender. You need that amount of water to make the milk for the sauce.

    I’ve decided to try this again on a different device, as the reviews I submitted from my iPad didn’t go through. Ah, technology. 😜. Brandi, this dish was delightful, different and delectable! The sunny tang of lemon was so refreshing against the savory onions, basil and spinach. I topped it off with your incredible lemon Parmesan and some toasted pine nuts and it was instantly uplifted to another level of fantasticness! (Yes I know, not a word, but it should be when it comes to your recipes. 😉 I will add for anyone hesitating to make this due to wine, I did not have a dry white on hand so I left it out. I plan on purchasing Pinot Grigio so I can try the recipe again but it honestly tasted like perfection without it. Thanks for this summer-perfect recipe, Brandi!

    This was so so so delicious! I used regular pasta, 16oz and 1 1/2’ed the other parts of the recipe and it was the perfect amt of sauce. I had my doubts that it would thicken without flour or cornstarch but it did! My 5 kids and omni husband raved and had seconds.

    Omg this was so good! And super easy- I prepped the Cashew Lemon Cream in advance so it was super fast to throw together! It tasted so good- hard to believe it was oil free. I have to say it looks gorgeous too- I plated it with roasted cauliflower, mushrooms and zucchini and had it all ready for a picture but then was so excited I forgot to snap any and just dug right in. Very filling and wholesome! 10/10

    Oh my goodness! Surprised my boyfriend and made this for dinner tonight. Neither one of us are vegan. It was spectacular!!

    I used linguine because that’s what I had on hand. And I’m a garlic and citrus junkie so I automatically double these in any recipe. For the lemon juice I replaced a 1/4 c of the water with it. Perfection!

    Can’t wait to make it for my mother, who refuses to cook healthy and thinks everything has to be drowning in butter and creme to be good lol.

    I’ve been looking for a recipe just like this… Is this at all similar to the gardein chicken Florentino pasta?

      Hi Annie, I’ve never tried that brand so I don’t know, but you could always add the gardein chicken to it.

    Great recipe. I love it as is, but will make it again, maybe using a little bit of olive oil. I may add peas and/or asparagus to the mix next time. Thanks for the yummy eats!

    My whole family loves this recipe! We double it to feed all 8 of us. I replaced the wine with broth. I highly recommend!

    This recipe is absolute gold! I had saved it months ago, and finally made it for the first time after putting my Pinterest board in front of my son in law (not a vegan), who chose it. This will now be on my favorites list-it was perfect…I didn’t need to make any changes or substitutions. Thank you!

    This was so good! Next time I may add a couple tsp of vegetable or vegan chicken bullion to the cashew lemon cream sauce for additional flavor but seriously good AS IS!! I added good earth vegan chicken (seasoned and browned), peas and broccoli too. Thank you for the epic recipe!
