Extra creamy simple vegan lemon miso pasta with spinach.
This super quick and easy lemon miso pasta requires just a few, simple ingredients and about 15 minutes to make, yet it’s simply heavenly. And virtually fool-proof. It’s the perfect weeknight dinner with a glass of white wine, but it’s also great cold, so you can take it with you to work. You can also totally customise this dish, it’s super delicious with lima beans, chickpeas, edamame, green peas, kale, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes.
I feel it’s kinda common sense that quick pastas are the best. Seriously, carb goodness in 15 minutes, what else could I wish for? This lemon miso pasta is probably so far the best of my repertoire, but check out some of my other (old favourite) quick pasta recipes too:

Wow, I like this combo of pasta, lemon, and spinach. I would never think of using miso in pasta, but this sounds good – like Italian and Asian flavors meet each other in one fabulous dish. Well done, Evi!
This would be a perfect light meal to welcome Spring!
Sounds like a simple and delicious meal! Love the combo of miso and almond butter..
I love your recipes! Is there is a possible replacement for almond butter? I am allergic to almonds but could have any other kind of nut butter. Would tahini work? Or maybe sunflower butter?
Hi Tara,
Yes, they would both work well here, I often make this recipe with tahini myself. Cashew or hazelnut butter can be used too. Or any combination of these.
Let me know if you try the recipe and how you liked it 🙂
Pasta and spinach!!! One of my fav culinary duets! Would love to have this for dinner right now! X

Thanks, Puja!
This looks and sounds so good and I am sooo hungry!!! I love that chair in the back, reminds me of the old chairs one of my great aunts used to have in her house.
Thanks, Adina!
The chair is in fact very old, I found it a few years ago on the street 😀
Thank you so much this was so delicious!!! I’ve been vegan for a year now and previously dairy free veggie. I wouldn’t go back, but as they say variety is the spice of life and I was getting bored of my everyday foods, bland food being the worst! But having to fork out quite of bit of money for premade meals or vegan subs was not the one haha. Especially being a student. I’ve never been that into cooking as I eat everything before it’s done and get bored, but this is so simple and taste amazing!! This will become a staple for sure!!
Hi Celyn,
I’m so happy to hear you like the recipe! 🙂
I know the struggle of being a student, it can be pretty tricky to have good vegan food while being on a budget…especially if you don’t like to cook (I used to hate cooking :D).
