welcome back to rainbowplantlife. if you're new here my name is Nisha and
thank you for joining me so in my part of the world fall is quickly approaching
which means winter is coming which means you have any excuse to eat all the pasta
you want and that's why I'm sharing with you three easy vegan pasta recipes that
take about 15 minutes to make they're super easy they're hearty and they're
delicious and if you like these easy vegan pasta recipes please consider
hitting that red subscribe button below so that you get notifications when I
post my videos and also that thumbs up button alright let's get into our first
easy pasta recipe our first easy vegan pasta recipe is a pumpkin alfredo
ravioli which is perfect for the fall weather you're going to start by eating
one tablespoon of vegan butter and we're gonna cook one diced onion and some
minced garlic until it's softened and browned
then we're adding two tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary because rosemary
is the perfect complement to pumpkin and then add in some cinnamon nutmeg salt
and pepper then I'm going to add some pumpkin puree this is just from the can
but if you want to you can use fresh pumpkin puree it will be even more
delicious and then I'm adding 1/2 cup of canned coconut milk I like to use full
fat coconut milk because it gets extra rich and creamy bring that mixture to a
simmer and let it thicken for a few minutes I guarantee your house will feel
just like Thanksgiving - your family arguing over politics of course then I'm
just going to add the precooked ravioli to the sauce this is vegan ravioli from
the brand kite chill foods
if you can't find vegan ravioli we could always use fettuccine or any other pasta
you like to finish this dish I'm going to add some fresh minced parsley some
salt and pepper to taste toasted walnuts red chili flakes and
some vegan Parmesan cheese this pumpkin alfredo ravioli is super hearty and
delicious and as soon as the temperature drops in your area I recommend you try
it out next up we have a creamy avocado linguine these are all the ingredients
you need for the creamy avocado sauce to make this off you'll need one avocado
make sure it's really ripe otherwise the sauce won't be creamy and it'll be kind
of gross so nobody wants that then I'm adding some fresh basil and fresh baby
spinach leaves as well as some vegan coconut yogurt you can use any vegan
yogurt you like then I'm adding some mooch or nutritional yeast as well as
some sea salt and the juice of half of a lemon
just season I'm going to add some freshly cracked black pepper and red
chilli flakes but only if you like it spicy and then finally adding in some
fresh garlic then turn on your food processor and let it do all the work of
course make sure you put the lid on and after a minute or two you'll have a
really creamy thick avocado sauce
this is some linguine that I've just cooked and drained and all you have to
do is sell upon that creamy avocado sauce
to make this dish a complete meal I'm going to be adding some ready to eat
vegetables of course feel free to use any veggies or proteins that you like I
just want to keep this really quick and simple I'm adding some cherry tomatoes
defrosted frozen peas and canned organic corn and to finish the dish I'm adding
some hemp seeds for protein fresh parsley and basil
I love making this dish when I have friends over because it's a little
impressive but it takes just 15 minutes to put together our last easy vegan
pasta recipe is a thai-inspired pesto pasta to make the pesto we're going to
start with 1 and 3/4 cup of cilantro leaf I'm also adding in some dry roasted
peanuts and the juice of one lime then I'm adding in some soy sauce or tamari
which is gluten free soy sauce as well as some freshly cracked black pepper
finally add in some fresh ginger garlic and diced chili peppers the exact
measurements for all the recipes will be in the description box below then turn
on your food processor and with the motor running stream in 2 tablespoons of
oil you may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor Bowl to get
the texture you're looking for
then we're going to heat up some coconut milk on the stove and add the pesto to
it stir that mixture together until it's well incorporated and slightly warmed
through and then just dump in your pre-cut pasta of course
Thai food doesn't usually include pasta or pesto so this is just Thai inspired
it's not an authentic Thai dish if you want to make it a little more
traditional Thai you can use rice noodles instead of pasta
to finish this dish I'm adding in about a cup of edamame this is organic
defrosted edamame which will add a lot of portunus
and some dry roasted peanuts for crunch as well as some Thai basil if you have
trouble finding Thai basil you can always use regular basil this dish is
perfect if you of pests feel that are looking for something slightly different
well I hope this easy vegan pasta recipes made you hungry and if you try
one of them of course let me know in the comments thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you next week
