Creamy Lemon Pepper Pasta - Good Old Vegan

Creamy Lemon Pepper Pasta

Creamy Lemon Pethispper Pasta

I am here to let you know this pasta sauce will become your newest obsession and you may want to have it with every meal you can going forward. I quickly made up this sauce after a hard workout (wanting something FAST) and I’ve now eaten a record amount of pasta in one sitting. It comes together in less than 20 minutes.

This is by far the creamiest and smooth vegan pasta sauce I have made to date. It is full of flavor from lemon juice, zest, sautéed garlic, and lots of pepper for a kick.
