Creamy Vegan Lemon Pasta

🍋 Vegan Creamy Lemon Pasta

This Vegan Creamy Lemon Pasta is one of our family's favorite recipes. I like to use Angel Hair Pasta for this recipe because it sticks to the sauce well. Also we sometimes alternatively use Spaghetti or Linguine.

Lemon Pasta without Cream

You will never believe that this Lemon Pasta is made without Cream. In fact I have used Coconut Milk which tastes beyond delicious in this Pasta.

👩‍🍳 How to make Creamy Lemon Pasta Sauce

Seriously the Creamy Vegan Pasta Sauce is the best thing about this recipe. The Coconut Milk blends in like a magical ingredient making this healthy, creamy, with a hint of sweetness.

I have made this Pasta sauce using lemon juice, Coconut Milk. Also, I have used Cornstarch to thicken the sauce. And Nutritional Yeast makes this sauce really tasty and cheesy.

I just love the fragrant Lemony aroma of this sauce. When you cook Garlic in a creamy lemon-based sauce it tastes so good.

Vegan Lemon Pasta

This is a very Springtime and Summery Pasta. I like to use some Kale as well, but just to keep things simple, I have skipped it for this recipe.

You can add it to your Lemon Pasta and it will be so awesome.😍😍

🥘 Ingredients needed to make Creamy Lemon Pasta

  • Angel Hair Pasta: I like to use Angel Hair Pasta for this recipe as this sticks to the sauce easily and holds on to the flavors. Besides this you can use Linguine or Penne or any small shaped Pasta.
  • Coconut Milk: Since we are making Vegan Creamy Lemon Pasta so instead of whole milk or heavy cream I am using Coconut Milk. You can replace it with soy milk or almond milk but the flavors will be dull.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: To cook the Garlic and for some amazing flavors.
  • Garlic: Without the kick of Garlic this Lemon Pasta will be incomplete.
  • Lemon Juice: Obviously, since this is a Lemon Pasta
  • Lemon Zest: Just enough for that amazing fragrance in the Pasta
  • Salt & Pepper: To season the Pasta
  • Sugar: Just enough to cut out on excessive sourness of Lemon
  • Italian Seasoning: For that perfect hint of herbs in the Pasta.
  • Cornstarch: To thicken the Sauce.
  • Nutritional Yeast: To give this Pasta the perfect cheesiness.
  • Capers: For that amazing vinegar-y and salty taste
  • Cilantro: For freshness to the Pasta.

👩‍🍳 How to make Vegan Creamy Lemon Pasta in just 10-minutes

You can find the detailed recipe below

Cook pasta until al dente: Cook Angel Hair Pasta until al dente for 3 minutes. After it gets cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the remaining water. Wash the Pasta with cold water so that the cooking process stops in them.

Make Creamy Lemon Sauce: Heat Olive Oil in a Pan. Add minced garlic to it. As the garlic gets fragrant, add Coconut Milk, Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest, Italian Seasoning, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until it all combines for 3 minutes.

Add Cornstarch to the sauce: Now, to thicken the sauce, add just 1 teaspoon of Cornstarch and stir vigorously so that there are no lumps left in the sauce. As the sauce thickens, add the cooked pasta and toss to combine it with the sauce.

Add Nutritional Yeast: Finally, add Nutritional Yeast and stir to combine with the pasta.

Garnish: Garnish this Lemon Pasta with Capers, Chopped Cilantro and serve.

Vegan Lemon Pasta with Capers and Cilantro

This healthy Vegan Pasta recipe with coconut milk and lemon juice along with herbs and garlic is a perfect spring-time dinner recipe. The kick of the garlic balances out the sourness of lemon.

Also, Coconut milk is naturally sweet and it complements the taste of Lemon brilliantly. 😍😍

I love how Lemons make this taste so good. Lemons brings out all the other flavours brilliantly.

Also, it feels incredibly hearty and comforting at the same time!

    Delicious! My non vegan husband loves it too. The only issue was that the sauce was quite watery. Will definitely make again but maybe with half the pasta water, or start earlier to give it more time to simmer
