  • 12 asparagus spears cut into 1-inch pieces*
  • 1 14 oz can quartered artichoke hearts, drained*
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves*
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas*
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat farfalle pasta** 
  • 2 tablespoons flour**
  • 2 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
  • 2 cups Almond Milk Original Unsweetened
  • 5 ounces of Indian River Select Lemonade
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • lemon slices
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Parmesan cheese vegan parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast, for garnish

* Use whatever veggies you prefer or are readily available.
** For a gluten-free option substitute the four and pasta for your choice of gluten-free pasta and flour.

Directions:

1 – In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic, spinach and veggies of choice. Cook until vegetables are tender and spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Pour the vegetables into a large bowl and set them aside while you cook the pasta and sauce.

2 – Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt generously. Cook pasta according to package instructions.

3 – While the pasta is cooking, make the creamy lemon sauce. Place the large skillet you used to cook the vegetables back on the stove and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, whisking until you don’t have any clumps. Slowly whisk in the almond milk, about ½ cup at a time, whisking vigorously. Add the lemon zest and keep whisking until the sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and whisk occasionally until the sauce thickens.  Add in the lemonade and sliced lemons. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, to taste.

4 – Drain the pasta and add it to the thickened lemon sauce. Stir in the cooked vegetables and stir until the pasta and vegetables are well coated with the creamy lemon sauce. Remove the lemon slices.

5 – Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, vegan parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast, if using.

Serve warm.
