Equipment
Ingredients
- 250 g red lentil pasta - dry
- 0.5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 yellow onion - finely diced
- 6 garlic cloves - minced
- 300 g silken tofu
- 0.5 cup (22 g) nutritional yeast
- 1 cup (30 g) baby spinach
- 1 cup (24 g) fresh basil
- 0.5 cup (118.29 ml) soy milk
- 4 tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 cups (182 g) broccoli - chopped into florets
- 200 g king oyster mushroom - sliced
- Salt and pepper - to taste
- 1 cup (20 g) arugula
- lemon - chilli flakes to serve
Instructions
- Cook the pasta, according to the packet instructions
- Start by heating a pot on medium heat, add the diced onions and olive oil. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions become soft.
- Add the diced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Transfer the cooked garlic and onions to a blender. Add the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, baby spinach, basil, hemp seeds, and soy milk to the blender. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Set this sauce aside for later.
- Return to the pot, add the sliced mushrooms and half a cup of water. Cook this mixture until all the water has evaporated. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure to stir regularly to prevent the mushrooms from sticking to the pot.
- Add the chopped broccoli and a pinch of salt to the pot. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta and the sauce you set aside earlier. Cook for a couple of minutes until the sauce is heated through. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
- Serve the pasta with a handful of arugula and a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious Supergreen High-Protein Pasta!

Can this sauce be made and frozen? Thank you!
I think it might seperate if frozen. Maybe a quick blitz after defrosting could give it a better texture. If you’re looking for a good freezer friendly pasta sauce, the lentils ragu pasta would be my choice 🙂
Can I use something else instead of yeast?
Also is it OK to use almond milk instead?
Hi, is this 250g of dry pasta or cooked pasta?
Thanks
250g of dry pasta, I’ve updated the instructions for clarity 🙂 Hope you love this recipe!
