Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free pasta noodles
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 8 ounces asparagus trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini medium-sized
- ½ cup yellow onion chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 coconut milk 15-oz can full-fat
- 2 lemon zested, plural
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- ¾ tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional, crushed
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour optional, gluten-free
Instructions
- Prepare the pasta noodles according to the package instructions (I always cook mine 1 or 2 minutes less than directed for al dente noodles) in a large pot of water. Once cooked, drain pasta and set it aside until ready to use.
- While the noodles are cooking, sauté the vegetables. To do so, add some cooking oil (I use avocado oil but olive oil works too) to a large 12-inch skillet and heat over medium-high. Add all of the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally for a couple of minutes, or until they have softened slightly.
- Pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and sea salt and bring everything to a full boil. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- You can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of gluten-free all-purpose flour or tapioca flour to help thicken the sauce.
- Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add everything back to the pot you used for cooking the pasta and stir well until combined.
- Note that the sauce will thicken further as the pasta sits, so don’t worry if it appears too thin. Taste the pasta for flavor and add more sea salt, lemon juice, or black pepper to taste. Serve this vegan gluten-free pasta primavera with any choice of side dishes or as is.
Notes
- *Use any type of pasta noodles you like!
- **You can also use tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, or regular all-purpose flour.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
