Savor the flavors of summer with this easy vegan pasta with summer vegetables that is super simple and can be made in just about 30 minutes.

Summer Harvest Vegan Pasta

This easy vegan pasta with summer vegetables is the perfect dish for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time to get dinner on the table and a drawer full of veggies that are about to turn. Don’t let those veggies go to waste! To make the sauce, you just sauté all your chopped vegetables together in a large skillet and add in a cup of cooked white beans at the end for extra protein. In a separate pot, make your pasta. By the time your pasta is done, your sauce should also be ready. Combine the two in a bowl and top it with some nutritional yeast for a one bowl meal that is healthy and filling.

Summer Harvest Vegan Pasta

See all the yummy goodness going on in the skillet above? You’ve got zucchini, chopped orange bell pepper, spinach, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh basil. Mmmm…. As you may have guessed, I love a good chunky sauce!  You can either follow my recipe as written or substitute whatever veggies you have on hand that you need to use up. I love eating this with some of my easy vegan parmesan on top. Not vegan? Feel free to top this dish with some shredded parmesan or asiago cheese to serve rather than the nutritional yeast. Either way is delicious!

    This is a great idea for vegan pasta. I love that you use nutritional yeast also.

    The other side of minestrone! This wonderful recipe has basically all the ingredients of minestrone soup without the broth. So double the batch and save half for making minestrone soup by just adding veggie broth.
    Thank you for the great recipe.
