This edamame pasta dish is quick and easy to make, great for summer, and high in plant-based protein.

I love a good bowl of pasta, but the issue with a lot of pasta recipes (especially vegan or vegetarian ones) is that they don’t have that much protein in it to make it hearty and filling. This edamame pasta recipe addresses just that. It’s a great summer dish, and will fill you up (sans meat).

Edamame: On top of being a good source of soy protein, edamame is rich in healthy fiber, antioxidants and vitamin K. It can also be so yummy even just to snack on.

How to make edamame pasta:

  1. Cook the Spaghettini in a large pot, with salted water, until al dente.
  2. Rinse, and transfer the pasta back into the pot.
  3. Add all of the ingredients except the feta into the pot with the pasta.
  4. Transfer to the stovetop and place over medium-high heat.
  5. Stir the pasta every 3 – 4 minutes to help the ingredients combine and prevent sticking.
  6. Continue to cook for 10 – 15 minutes until pasta and edamame is tender, absorbs most of the liquid, and the flavors combine.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve immediately with crumbled feta on top!

I don’t have spaghettini: Use any other pasta you desire! You can easily make this edamame spaghetti. Make it gluten free, and even choose a different type like penne, spaghetti, etc. It’s endless!

Customize: Add any other vegetables you wish! Customize the dish! Serve this with extra cheese on top, cooked asparagus, fresh tomatoes, or toasted sourdough bread! YUM!
