This Vegan Lemon Parmesan Pasta is one of my favorites. The lemon gives it a light and fresh flavor while the pasta makes it comforting and filling.
While I love cooking, there are plenty of nights when the thought of making a meal is the last thing I want to do.
Rather than eat out or grab something from the freezer, I turn to some of my go-to quick dinners.
And this Vegan Lemon Parmesan Pasta is one of my favorites.
The combination of garlic, lemon, vegan parmesan and vegan butter makes for a light and bright flavor that is also packed full of flavor.
Pair this with a salad and you will have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.
