How to make Lemon Pasta Sauce
First heat a pan or pot with the vegan butter and olive oil. Add minced garlic and fry for around 2 minutes. Now mix in as much as you like of the prepared vegan Parmesan cheese. This will depend on your preferences – you can use all or use half of it. In that case reserve the other half for pasta toppings.
Finally add the cashew milk and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, cook for 5 minutes more. Serve over pasta and enjoy.
Note: Any plant milk will work. Soy, almond, or oat milk. I’ve tried them all but find out cashew milk gives the best results.
This recipe makes such an amazing dinner, lunch, meal prep to eat during the week and for easy lunch ideas that you can gladly bring to work.
Tips and variations to make Lemon pasta Sauce you’re family favorite:
If you prefer a thicker sauce, try mixing 1 tsp of cornstarch with 2 tsp of water. Add to the sauce. you can go from there and add more.
Looking for more variety? I guess the sauce will be really delicious with caramelized onions. Just add 1 cup of onions to the garlic and fry for around 5 minutes.
Before vegan days, my favorite always was a lemon butter sauce and you can do this easily. Instead of cashew milk add coconut cream which leads to a more rich and buttery texture. Also you can add capers to make a lemon caper butter sauce.
Excited for summer? Who isn’t! Add 2 tsp lemon zest for a more tangy flavor and you have the most amazing summer dinner ideas. This way you have to check out how to peel a lemon.

What should I replace the cashew milk if I wouldn’t prefer to use cashew milk?
Hi Francine! Feel free to use almond milk, but the result will be less creamy. Let me know how it goes.
i added flour and spinach to make it thicker and it was SO good
