This Creamy Vegan Spinach Artichoke Pasta is like eating your favorite dip in pasta form. Ready in less than 30 minutes. The perfect weeknight dinner that is simple and comforting.
If you didn’t think pasta could get even more comforting, creamy and delicious, then prepare to have your world rocked with this Creamy Vegan Spinach Artichoke Pasta.
You guys have told me many times how much you like my Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip and my Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas. And it had me thinking…what if we used the same concept but over pasta?
Well, let me tell you, my instincts were right. Because this pasta is freaking delicious.
The creaminess of this pasta comes from vegan cream cheese. Something we’ve used again and again in TSV recipes. Like I’ve told you before, I think it is one of the few cheeses that vegans have gotten right.
TSV TIP: My favorite vegan cream cheese brands are Trader Joe’s, GoVeggie, Tofutti and Kite Hill.
The other main players in this sauce are spinach and artichokes (shocking, I know). I went with frozen spinach for this recipe. Mostly because it is simpler than using fresh. But you could totally use fresh if that is what you have on hand.
Once you have everything combined, you will want to use some of the leftover pasta water to loosen everything up.
Top it all off with some vegan parmesan and fresh basil and call it a night. Because this recipe is really that simple.

Delicious, quick and easy. I used fresh spinach and added mushrooms because we love them. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the great easy weeknight recipe!

Easy and delicious!

I liked it
my husband made this last night and it was so so good!! thank you!
What can you sub for cream cheese. Never liked the real thing or the vegan varieties.
You could use my bechamel sauce recipe – https://www.thissavoryvegan.com/simple-vegan-bechamel-sauce/ – it will give it a totally different flavor, but at least it will still be super creamy!
This recipe looks mouthwatering!?
