We bet you’ve never eaten noodles quite like this before! Made out of organic edamame and mung beans, this pasta dish is loaded with plant-based protein from non-GMO beans and dairy-free, veggie-based sauce. Homemade sauces are the best alternative to overly processed store-bought options, which often contain dairy.
This twist on traditional Alfredo sauce uses one head of fresh white cauliflower, which is roasted, combined with spices and blended into a healthy, creamy dressing. But be forewarned, just one bite of this gluten-free meal will change your previous perspective on pasta.
