I’m kind of obsessed with the lemon and garlic flavor combo, especially for pasta. Vegan Lemon Garlic Pasta is tangy, vibrant and refreshing. It’s also creamy, but without being too heavy. So, this pasta dish is great as either a main dish, or a filling side dish. I love serving it with grilled veggies and hearty salads.

Ingredient Notes
Pasta – you can use any type of pasta, but my personal favorite is the thin, light kind of pasta. For example, Capellini (Angel Hair) or Vermicelli are the thinnest pastas, and they pair really well with this sauce.
Non-dairy cream – any type of unsweetened, unflavored cream will work. You can also use barista blend oat milk (thick, creamy oat milk). In Japan, the most readily available non-dairy cream is Soy Cream (for whipping cream). You should be able to find it at any supermarket, in the dairy section.
Vegan Butter – either vegan butter or margarine will work.
Vegan Parmesan Cheese – you can use either store-bought vegan parm, or make your own. Check out my recipe for vegan parmesan cheese. You can make your own parmesan with only 3 simple ingredients!
