Creamy Vegan Tahini Pasta


For all my gluten and dairy free peeps, this irresistible creamy vegan tahini pasta is everything you ever wanted. I used chickpeas pasta for this recipe both times I made it and it tasted great. You can conveniently switch it up with any type of legume penne, rotini or bowtie that you have in your pantry.




Nutritional yeast is probably my favorite pantry staple since I first found out about it in health coaching school. It is a yummy and nutritious alternative to cheese and provides a nice nutty "cheezy" flavor to any dish.




For the coconut milk, be sure to use canned full fat coconut milk. The fat will help the dish get that nice creamy consistency that you want in this creamy vegan pasta dish!
