    How do I cook green spaghetti from scratch?

    Making pasta loaded with nutrient-dense vegetables is our favorite weeknight-friendly dish. This flavor-packed vibrant plate is almost effortless to make. Can you believe it is ready in 15 minutes or less?

    1. Cook the spaghetti

      First, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.

    2. Make the sauce

      While the pasta is cooking, blend all the ingredients (the veggies, olive oil, water, and seasonings) in a blender or food processor. Blitz until smooth and creamy. If you don't have a blender simply put the ingredients in a bowl and puree the sauce with a handheld immersion blender.

      In the end, drain the spaghetti. Transfer the sauce to the cooked spaghetti pot while still hot. Mix it all well until spaghetti is evenly coated with the raw green sauce. Serve it immediately with vegan feta cheese or parmesan and enjoy!

      I love simple pasta dishes like this one... and it was so easy and quick that I think this pasta dish is going to become a regular here. Even my daughter like it and she doesn't normally go anywhere near anything with radishes in it.

      I never had avocado in a salad before, but this looks and sounds absolutely delicious. The green color of the sauce is phenomenal. I love how healthy and comforting this dish is.
