Creamy pasta with Almond Breeze Almondmilk, baked asparagus, and garbanzo beans for a satisfying, balanced meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk or Almond Breeze Extra Creamy Almondmilk
  • 1 large bunch medium size asparagus
  • 1 (15-oz.) can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons each: salt pepper and garlic powder divided
  • 1 pound dry pasta and shape (or gluten free pasta)
  • Zest and juice from 2 lemons
  • Shaved parmesan cheese or 2 to 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a piping hot 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cover a baking sheet with foil.
  • Prepare the asparagus by trimming 2 inches of the tough ends off the spears and cutting the remaining asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Place the asparagus pieces and garbanzo beans on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything well to ensure even coating.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the beans are slightly toasted.
  • While you wait, let a big pot of lightly salted water come to a boil. Cook the reserved asparagus ends until very tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a food processor or blender.
  • Bring the water back to a boil, then add pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, for 9 to 12 minutes (timing depends on the pasta type). Drain pasta thoroughly and return it to the pot.
  • Combine Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor with the boiled asparagus. Blend until smooth.
  • Combine the sauce with freshly cooked pasta, then mix in roasted asparagus and garbanzo beans. Sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese, for extra flavor.
