Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200 g/0.5 pound of pasta of your choice (I used GF penne)
  • 200 g/0.5 pound of green asparagus
  • 1 can of lima beans
  • 1/2 cup of almond flour
  • 1 roasted bell pepper from a jar
  • 4 cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 lemon, zest+juice
  • fresh dill to serve
  • salt, pepper


Instructions

  1. Prepare pasta according to package instructions.
  2. Meanwhile pasta is cooking, place almond flour, bell pepper, tomatoes, miso, tahini, diced onion, garlic, lemon juice and zest (keep a little for decorating) to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Add a few tablespoons of water if the sauce is too thick.
  3. In a grill pan grill asparagus for 2-4 minutes or until they have grill marks.* Cut into smaller pieces.
  4. Add drained pasta, lima beans, pasta sauce and grilled asparagus pieces to a large bowl. Toss to coat everywhere.
  5. Serve immediately or after chilling, garnished with extra lemon zest, dill and black pepper if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

*You can also use a regular pan for the asparagus. Or keep it even simpler by steaming asparagus or using it raw. Both way delicious.
