Spring is the perfect time to bring fresh greens into the kitchen, and this Green Goddess Spring Pasta does exactly that. Packed with spinach, basil, artichokes, and leeks, this vibrant pasta dish blends garden-fresh ingredients with a silky, creamy sauce.
The secret to the flavor is a splash of Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil, which adds just the right amount of savory depth to the sautéed leeks and garlic. Combined with coconut milk and herbs, the result is a rich, velvety sauce that’s completely vegan, nut-free, and incredibly satisfying.
Quick enough for a weeknight dinner yet elegant enough for entertaining, this pasta is a delicious way to celebrate fresh seasonal flavors.
