The quick and easy solution to a delicious family dinner. This recipe is a simple combination of 3 older recipes I truly adore, Savory Coconut Cream Sauce + Hemp Seed Pesto & Oil-Free Roasted Garlic! All three are staples in my kitchen, I prep them as much as possible to keep on hand and add into dishes throughout the week. Making my meals come together in under 15 minutes – meal prepping a few elements each week is crucial to saving me money and creating good food without hours of cooking each day.
You can never truly go wrong with a pasta night, I personally love indulging in this dish a couple times a month with a different flare each time. It’s absolutely fantastic with thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes and my sunflower seed parm sprinkled on top!

Thanks!
Is it bad that we sometimes eat pasta twice a week?! Haha!!! It’s obviously a family favorite meal. Meal planning and prepping has definitely helped us save money – I’ve enjoyed reading and seeing how you meal prep. But lets talk about this recipe!!! Holy yummm! Such a beautiful dish and looks insanely delicious!! I’ve been anxious to try your savory coconut cream sauce so, I’m thinking this needs to be made for our next pasta night. Totally drooling! ❤️
Not at all! I totally do the same lol it’s really the best meal for being so quick and affordable. So excited for you to give the coconut cream sauce recipe a try, I really hope you enjoy it!
Margaret! This was SOOOOOO good! That savory coconut sauce was fantastic, but when combined with the hemp pesto…heavenly! This was a nice change from all the cashew based sauces and just as creamy (if not creamier). Those little hemp seeds are pretty magical, aren’t they? Since Willow approved of this, we’ll definitely be adding it into rotation! We had leftover sauce, so I used it with a different noodle and the leftovers tasted even better!! <3
YAY! I’m so pleased to hear you and your family enjoyed this! I swear hemp seeds are just the best – I always have to buy them in bulk, so perfect for so many things. Thanks for another approval, Willow! <3
SO SO SO Good!!! Thank you thank you thank you. I’m a gluten-free, soy-free, vegan so finding recipes that are both flavorful and something that the hubby will eat without missing meat/gluten can be difficult. This is a winner for sure!
This dish definitely delivers, I hope you and your family enjoy! Thanks so much! 😀
I really want to try this recipe, however the links for the sunflower seed parm, hemp seed pesto and savory coconut cream sauce do not bring me to the other recipes.
I’ll update the links now. After transferring my site they all broke. You can always use the search box on my site to find those recipes as well, hope that helps.
