Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add in the pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, make the green goddess pasta sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, add in the oil. Once hot, add in the spinach, a little at a time as needed, and keep cooking until it’s all wilted. This will only take a few minutes.

To a blender, add in the wilted spinach, tofu, milk, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt + pepper, herbs, hemp seeds, and chives. Blend on high until creamy and fully liquified.

In the same skillet you cooked the spinach, add in the sauce and heat over low heat, stirring often. Once heated through, add in the pasta and toss to combine.

Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan and fresh herbs and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Blanch Greens Before Blending 🥬
Briefly blanch your spinach and fresh herbs (30 seconds) before blending to brighten their color and remove any bitter compounds, resulting in a more vibrant and balanced sauce.
Toast Hemp Seeds for Depth 🌱
Lightly toast hemp seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the sauce to unlock their nutty flavors and enhance the overall complexity of your green goddess base.
Silken Tofu Temperature Trick ❄️
Keep your silken tofu cold until blending and add it last to the food processor to achieve the creamiest, smoothest sauce without overworking the mixture.
Reserve Pasta Water Strategically 💧
Save 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining and use it to adjust sauce consistency—the starch helps the sauce cling beautifully to each strand of pasta.
Layer Fresh Herbs for Maximum Flavor 🌿
Divide your fresh herbs in half: blend half into the sauce and toss the remaining chopped herbs with the finished pasta to preserve their bright, fresh taste and add textural interest.
