This summer squash pasta is magically creamy and super refreshing at the same time. At it’s free of soy, nuts and of course dairy.
To reach its beautiful buttery and creamy taste I’m using regular coconut milk. I was skeptical at first cause I worried about too much of the tropical taste. But in the end I couldn’t distinguish coconut there at all! If you are like me and can’t have any nuts right now this recipe is for you!
First start cooking your pasta.
Slice summer squash or zucchini using spiralizer with a blade for wide ribbons. Alternatively you can slice it with vegetable peeler.
Heat just a touch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic followed by squash and stir for a minute or two. Then add coconut milk and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in nutritional yeast, parsley, lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Switch off the heat.
Serve over cooked pasta.
