Creamy sundried tomato pasta

Ingredients

• 500g butter beans (can or jar)
• 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
• Two cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• Juice of one lemon
• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
• Pasta of choice
• Chopped basil or parsley
• Parmesan to serve (plant-based if preferred)

Method

Drain the butter beans and place them in a blender along with the sundried tomatoes, garlic, yeast, lemon juice and chilli flakes, and blend until you've got a smooth sauce.

Meanwhile, put the pasta on to boil in a pan of salted water, making sure to reserve half a cup of the pasta water.

Pour the contents of the blender into a saucepan over a low heat and give it a good stir, adding in the pasta water which will help to thicken it up.

Once the pasta has cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the sauce, making sure everything is fully coated.

Top with some additional sundried tomatoes, herbs and parmesan if you like, and you're ready to serve.
