Absolutely amazing! So quick and easy. I've used baby spinach instead of the fresh herbs, since I didn't have any at home.
That still gave it a nice crunch.
This is the first recipe I've cooked using the app and I am blown away. By far the best cooking app, I've ever used. Thought of bloody everything. Brilliant job and a massive thank you from a busy mum.

Aw this made our day, Rebekka! Love the baby spinach swap, and we're beyond thrilled you’re enjoying the app. Thanks for welcoming us into your kitchen 🥰

Great weeknight dinner! So fast and tasty! We swapped the vegan cream for silken tofu and soaked cashews and it was divine!

Love your recipes! We found this one because we need to use up our cilantro and it popped up in the search. It's the best feature of the app!

Mmm silken tofu and cashews sound like a deliciously creamy swap. So glad you’re enjoying the app as well, KC 🥰


Jodi - Feb. 17, 2025, 3:12 a.m.

This was quite good and satisfying! I made it gluten free using Lupini pasta. I did not have soy cream so used 1/2 cup soy milk with 2 tbs of tahini. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

Woohoo! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the pasta, Jodi ☺️


Tina - Jan. 5, 2025, 2:25 a.m.

A slightly spicy creamy sauce. We liked it. Used silken tofu instead of the soy cream and no cilantro or cheese and still found it flavorful. Easy to make😁


Riikka - Dec. 21, 2024, 7:54 a.m.

Nice pasta for a weekday, and a bit different!


Ewa Januszewska - Nov. 8, 2024, 12:46 p.m.

It's really tasty, quick, and easy to make ♥️


Reid Wegrecki - Aug. 1, 2024, 4:03 a.m.

Very tasty! Loved the addition of lime zest and juice ☺️. It really helped to balance things out!


Roberta Celebrano - July 4, 2024, 1:53 a.m.

Being Italian, the combination of ingredients and spices sounded really foreign to me for pasta, but I 100% trusted the fact that all of your recipes are incredible. And so was this dish! Loved it. Thank you! Another keeper.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 4, 2024, 4:56 a.m.

Such a big compliment, Roberta! So glad that the pasta was enjoyed :)


Kim - June 24, 2024, 4:10 a.m.

This was the first recipe I've made from n you guys that v was just sort of ok. Maybe I shouldn't have added the spinach? Anyways, not bad but just not what I've come to expect from your recipes.

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 25, 2024, 11:16 p.m.

Hi there, Kim! Sorry to hear this recipe didn't meet your expectations. Changing the ingredients such as adding spinach might have changed the flavour profile. We also prefer our homemade feta for flavour in case you used a storebought option that has a distinct taste :)

Great weeknight dinner


Sylwia Malinowska-Clabots - April 30, 2024, 8:05 p.m.

Amazing! I didn’t add the cilantro but it was still sooooo good. Quick and easy, perfect for every occasion.


Amanda Rice - April 26, 2024, 2:37 p.m.

Great quick week night meal and a hit with the kids! I subbed hummus for the cooking cream to cut down on saturated fat (we are watching cholesterol) and served it on a bed of sauteed kale. Can't wait to make it again, thanks!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 28, 2024, 7:43 p.m.

Hi Amanda, so glad that the pasta was enjoyed and thanks for sharing your experience with using hummus instead ☺️


Emmy - April 22, 2024, 8:13 p.m.

Loved this one! So creamy and comforting!


Aileen - April 16, 2024, 5:33 a.m.

This was the first PUL recipe I did not enjoy. The sauce just wasn’t there for me. I had to add pickled red onions (PUL recipe) and some salsa verde to actually enjoy this meal. My husband also added that the corn and black beans should be doubled in amount.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 16, 2024, 11:26 p.m.

Hey Aileen, oh no! We're sad to hear the sauce didn't do for you. I wonder if maybe a different type of pasta was used? This could throw off the ratio of sauce to other ingredients. In any case, we appreciate the feedback to help us improve 😊


Gesa von Hirschheydt - April 12, 2024, 8:40 p.m.

Super easy recipe to follow, affordable ingredients, flavourful taste! We (my two flatmates and I) shall definitely do this again!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 13, 2024, 4:40 a.m.

Yayy so happy to hear you enjoyed the pasta, Gesa!


Tina - April 9, 2024, 7:59 p.m.

Needed a quick dinner for the family and it worked great. They all had seconds...thank you❣️


Kim Tee - April 9, 2024, 9:49 a.m.

So good I would have licked the bowl if it was socially acceptable. Feta adds a perfect kick.


Rob - April 8, 2024, 9:23 p.m.

This is a lovely and speedy meal. My blender gave up the ghost today, so I wasn't able to blend the sauce. I cooked it down a little longer and added a bit more seasoning to compensate, but it was still a tasty pasta dish. I'll make this again once I get a new blender to try the smooth sauce!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 9, 2024, 12:15 a.m.

Hey Rob, so glad that the pasta was enjoyed! We hope you love your new blender too☺️


Leila Daniel - March 20, 2024, 2:47 a.m.

Delicious! Added some hot sauce at the end. Tastes like Tex Mex pasta! Yummy!


Diane Schuller - March 11, 2024, 2:46 a.m.

The app makes it easy. I added more corn and used a full can of beans. Will make again. Thank you.


Julie - March 3, 2024, 10:31 a.m.

A bit bland by itself for my taste, even when topped with lime and feta, and somehow also not very filling. Despite making three servings, I still had most of my jars of beans and corn left over, so I think I would just throw the extra stuff into the sauce next time. I transformed this into a big salad bowl the next day though, using romaine, balsamic vinegar, extra veg and faux chicken and that was very good! ☺️


Freyha - March 3, 2024, 9:34 a.m.

Yummy


Katia Guzman - Feb. 29, 2024, 1:18 a.m.

Amazingly delicious!


Natalie - Feb. 28, 2024, 11:53 a.m.

Very tasty! You guys are magicians!


Nina - Feb. 27, 2024, 8:37 p.m.

I added some corn fed chicken (Maishähnchen), cut into bits, to the first step. That was also very delicious.


Taimi - Feb. 26, 2024, 9:03 a.m.

Absolutely delicious. I made extra and turned it into my new favorite pasta salad the next day by adding some avocado, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and vegan aoli

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 27, 2024, 9:04 p.m.

Ooo love to the twist to make pasta salad, Taimi - thanks!

Another 10/10 recipe from you guys - I love the lemony finish 👌

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 19, 2024, 12:56 a.m.

We’re so happy to hear the pasta was enjoyed, Kim!


Perla - Feb. 17, 2024, 5:18 a.m.

Was really tasty! Everyone I live with really loved it. just like Jonathan, I used vegan Parmesan because that’s all I had. Would love to try it with vegan feta next time :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 18, 2024, 4:35 a.m.

Woohoo! We're so happy to her it was enjoyed, Perla, thank you 🤩


Jonathan - Feb. 15, 2024, 10:19 p.m.

Delicious pasta, I already made it twice in two days. I was missing some more greens so I added spinach which works really well. I used the vegan parmesan recipe instead of the feta which was unavailable, also a great match :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 15, 2024, 11:08 p.m.

Aw we're so glad you enjoyed the pasta, Jonathan! Love the additions too 🙌
