An incredible mix of simple, but powerful flavors. Enjoy this unique twist on a creamy pasta sauce. I added fresh lemon juice on the asparagus and it was great!

Could I please get advise on if it is possible to switch the ingredients for better accuracy in the nourish wheel. For example If I wish to switch the pasta for a protein lentil pasta?

Hi PM, it's not currently possible to switch ingredients automatically for recipes on the app but we have a feature like this high on our priority list! In the meantime, a workaround can be to create a custom recipe if you'd like 😊

I did the sub with lima (butter) beans. They were still bitter after rinsing all the spots under cold water for 10 minutes. So it might just be the brand I got at the store. I didn't mind the bitterness, though. This sauce wasn't my favourite. But it's good to know it as an option, if I ever have this combination of ingredients again. Nice to learn a new recipe.

Hi Nicole, I'm sorry to hear the recipe didn't quite hit the mark for you. I'm curious what could have caused the sauce to taste bitter, but incase it helps: a touch of sweetness (like agave or maple syrup) can help to balance bitterness in recipes. Also, when it comes to bean-based sauces, a good, long blend can make all the difference in achieving that smooth, creamy texture. I hope this helps in case you ever give the dish another go :)

I used this recipe as more of a concept rather than exact. The Rancho Gordo beans were soaking all day then cooked while I prepared the other ingredients. I added the sun dried tomatoes to the blender and used plenty of pasta water to create a fantastic sauce. I roasted the asparagus and cut into bite size pieces and stirred into the onions along with mushrooms and vegan sausage I had leftover from another recipe. It was delicious and so very good with that sauce. A winner! Thank you for the inspiration and recipe.

That sounds like a delicious adaptation, Marilyn! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🤩

I think this was a good mid-range pasta. I used berlotti beans instead of cannellini, and 1 leek + 1 medium onion as this is what I had in my pantry, so this may have changed the dish slightly. It almost had a tuna-like taste to it which was surprising.

Made this for a family of 6. All but two of them liked it. I think the sauce could be a little better, but not sure how.

One bite in my husband literally said “whoa this is restaurant quality”. Super flavourful and yummy 😋

A huge compliment! Thank you 🫶

I can’t believe the depth of flavor in such a humble pasta dish. With just a few simple pantry items you managed to create a wonderful recipe -thank you, Sadia!

So happy to hear, Coni, thank you! 😊

This was amazing. I used farfalle pasta and caramelized the onions for an hour since I had the time. I will absolutely make this again. I had some nostalgia taking a bite of cold leftovers today-kinda reminded of that Midwest favorite tuna and noodle casserole. 😅

Aww love the personal connection to the recipe, Katie, and we're so thrilled the recipe was enjoyed!


Catarina Vallada - July 3, 2023, 12:40 a.m.

I can’t put into words how much I loved this recipe. The depth of flavor really surprised me. I added a little bit of soy sauce and sesame oil to the onions and I think it highlighted the miso in a really nice way. I also used artichokes instead of aspargus because it was what I had on hand, and it was still delicious!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 4, 2023, 1:45 a.m.

Oh we're so thrilled to hear, Catarina, thank you! Artichokes sound lovely 🙂


Cindy M Gilmore - June 26, 2023, 11:48 p.m.

Wow that is an amazing dish! I’m so excited to make this again!


Jamie R - June 26, 2023, 2:49 a.m.

I thought this pasta sounded interesting but wasn’t sure how it would taste - and I can vouch, it’s incredible! Such a great blend + balance of flavors - the caramelized onions add a sweet + crunchy quality that is really just lovely. The asparagus also add a really nice freshness to the whole dish. 10/10, will be making again! 💞

Woop woop! Thanks so much, Jamie 🤗

Such a delicious recipe! I added some halfed cherry tomatoes to make it taste like summer even more😁
The perfect easy dinner for a cozy evening sitting on the terrace with your family

Mmm sounds delicious, Lara, thank you!


Carissa Joy - May 15, 2023, 6:29 p.m.

This was delicious! Such a good creamy pasta. I forgot to add the sun-dried tomatoes (forehead slap), but am looking forward to that added flavor next time. Even without them, it was very yummy.

Aw so happy to hear, Carissa! 😃
