    vegetable oil
  • 4
    garlic cloves, minced
  • 1
    large onion, diced
  • 2
    vegetable bouillon cubes
  • 1 tsp (2 g)
    chili flakes
  • 3 cups (285 g)
    dry penne pasta
  • 3 cups (720 mL)
    passata sauce
  • 1½ cups (360 mL)
    water
  • ¾ cup (184 g)
  • 1
    zucchini, sliced into half-moons

    marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1½ cups (30 g)
    arugula

Optional toppings

  • roasted pine nuts

Directions

  1. Add the oil to a large pot on medium-high heat. When hot, add the garlic, onion, bouillon, and chili flakes. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes.
  2. Then add the uncooked pasta, passata sauce, water, hummus, and nutritional yeast to the pot.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Check on the pasta a few times and stir to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the zucchini, cooking cream, bell pepper, and artichokes. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about another 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the arugula when ready to serve. Garnish as desired, and enjoy!

It doesn’t matter if I’m meal prepping or cooking for a large group, I always come back to this recipe. It’s so delicious and easy to make. Don’t skip the hummus, it’s a must since it makes the sauce creamy and provides protein. Love it!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 4, 2024, 3:01 p.m.

Yayy it means so much that you're enjoying the rose pasta pasta, Dani! It's a staple for us as well 🤩


Rosanne Abela-Wadge - Oct. 13, 2024, 2:33 p.m.

I enjoyed making for the family as well so the goodness of the recipe when eating it.


Mimmi - Sept. 25, 2024, 3:38 p.m.

Best pasta sauce I've ever had! Delicious!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 25, 2024, 5:17 p.m.

Woop woop - this is definitely our favourite rose pasta sauce and recipe 🙌 Thanks, Mimmi!


Anya - Aug. 18, 2024, 4:08 a.m.

Very delicious pasta. I was very hesitant to add hummus but that’s what makes this really creamy even without the cream. I also added extra water and the pasta took longer to cook than I thought probably because I was letting the heat out stirring it so often. Very delicious, no frills recipe. You could technically cut out or substitute the vegetables and I’m sure it would yield the same effect. Onions, garlic, hummus and tomato sauce are the main players.


Christina - Aug. 9, 2024, 6:15 p.m.

I loved this! I was worried about the hummus making a weird taste but everything is mixing so well together!


Els - July 11, 2024, 5:42 p.m.

:)


Els - July 11, 2024, 5:40 p.m.

Always make this recipe when I'm in a hurry and out of inspiration but have to cook for a large group of people; everyone always loves it ! I cook the pasta separately as I prefer pasta that way, but also because I can then make more of both pasta and sauce :) I love how its so easily adjustable; I've added in a bunch of things as well as left out some things, the creamy rose sauce never fails to make everything taste amazingly.
Thank you! I love it

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 11, 2024, 10:01 p.m.

Aw so glad that you're enjoying the pasta, Els, thanks for sharing your experience with it 🤩


freddy - July 8, 2024, 5:39 p.m.

A fave!


Heather - July 1, 2024, 7:22 p.m.

This was delicious


Lini - June 9, 2024, 5:14 p.m.

Easy to make and tasty. It was all in one pot so it was convenient. I used wholemeal pasta and cooked for a little over 10 mins. It came out creamy and delicious.


michael - June 3, 2024, 12:57 p.m.

I wasn’t sure about the proportion of some ingredients. I adjusted down the tomato sauce and added a little more water. I deglazed the onion and garlic stage with red wine. Skipped the cream entirely cause it seemed creamy enough. I added some cannellini beans to boost protein. Added in more arugula than the recipe called for which worked well. Artichoke could easily be substituted with something else as suggested by others. Will make this again but will continue to adjust ingredients.

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 3, 2024, 5:05 p.m.

It sounds like you made some interesting adjustments, Michael! Enjoy refining your twist on the recipe more 😊


Rike - May 13, 2024, 6:10 a.m.

I love it! So creamy and tasty! And you can add any vegetables that need to be used! Perfect!


Danielle - May 9, 2024, 2:56 a.m.

I was skeptical at first about adding hummus to this dish but I am so very glad that I tried out this recipe. I made it with a lesser amount of chili flakes as we don’t like that much spice. This recipe was absolutely phenomenal! Easy to make in one pot, it was so creamy, delicious, and flavorful. I am definitely going to be making this again soon.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 10, 2024, 7:51 p.m.

Yayy so happy to hear the pasta was enjoyed, Danielle!


Bex - May 7, 2024, 8:53 p.m.

Wow! This one’s a winner! So dreamy and delicious 🤤 six stars out of five 🌟


Johnny - April 30, 2024, 3:49 a.m.

Made this tonight- was perfect, tasty and easy!


Nadika - April 29, 2024, 1:40 a.m.

This was such a comforting meal on a rainy day! Love that we were able to make everything in just one pot and that you always offer substitutions. Instead of arugula we added spinach and also a can of cooked chickpeas (rinsed, of course) and it was just perfect! Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 30, 2024, 3:44 a.m.

Aw so glad to hear that that the pasta could provide some comfort. Thank you, Nadika☺️


Michaela - April 8, 2024, 10:32 p.m.

very good, but if you leave the garlic out, you will need some spices like rosemary or so.
And its important to cook it partially covered, not full covered, like i do. (because I wanted to avoid steam and always do it that way to save energy😅). Otherwise you're more likely to have soup😇


jumatos01 - April 8, 2024, 2:18 a.m.

Sooooo good!!


Freyha - March 24, 2024, 12:49 a.m.

I'm not a big fan of this whole One-pot-thing. My Noodles get too hard or too soft and are never the way I want them to be. But the sauce ist delicious and I will cook it separately next time 👍🏻


Maarten Immerzeel - March 23, 2024, 8:39 p.m.

A favorite for many years! So easy and tasteful


lexi - March 22, 2024, 6:41 p.m.

If I don’t like artichokes is there a good substitute to use? Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 24, 2024, 8:02 p.m.

Hey Lexi! The artichoke hearts can be omitted, or substituted with another vegetable on hand. Asparagus, other coloured bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes are some ideas that may pair well. Do let us know how it goes if you give any modifications a try 🤗


Amy - March 19, 2024, 2:13 a.m.

1000% my favourite recipe here! I have made this SO many times since serving it to my parents for our first try ;) I finally had to come on to rate it because I just made it sans recipe (since I thought that I *had* to have remembered all the ingredients) and just wanted to say that you don't actually need the cream for a velvety smooth sauce (ask me how I know lol) - you just need to add some more water. It doesn't stick as well to the final dish as it's a bit runnier than before but still delicious.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 10:06 p.m.

We're thrilled to hear the rosé pasta has become a favourite for you, Amy! Thank you for sharing your experience and tip about adjusting the sauce consistency. It's great to know that it still turns out delicious even without the cream. Happy cooking, and here's to many more tasty meals together 🤗


Talia Coney - March 18, 2024, 4:40 a.m.

Creamy! In- laws loved it


Dilys - March 8, 2024, 7:52 p.m.

This recipe is especially yummy with spicy hummus!


L A - March 8, 2024, 7:07 p.m.

Quick, easy, delicious and nutritious 🫶🏼 It became a classic in our home, which we easily adapt to our fridge leftovers.


Jule - March 1, 2024, 10:24 p.m.

For those interested: works well for meal prep and in a pressure cooker* (instant pot). Just omit the veggies at first since they don't need to cook that long and stir them in after the pasta is cooked. I didn't use zucchini this time though because it's not in season. You might need to either cook it separately or adjust the cooking time of the pasta, like a minute less, put in the zucchini and cook with an open lid

*I put mine on manual, high pressure and cooking time around half of what the pasta package says (so for 8min pasta 4 min) and then quick release.

Jule - March 1, 2024, 10:27 p.m.

Oh and maybe don't pressure cook the cooking cream, it sometimes tends to curdle. Just use it as a finish :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 2, 2024, 4:21 a.m.

Thanks for taking the tip to share your tips and insight, Jule! 😊


Diane Schuller - Feb. 29, 2024, 3:58 a.m.

Easy directions. It did take longer to cook but that’s minor. I added some herbs and lemon for more flavour but another tasty recipe. Thank you.


Miriam - Feb. 23, 2024, 4:20 p.m.

Ever since I first tried this recipe it has become a favorite! Especially when I have guests over I like to impress them with this dish 😉. I am thinking of making this dish (as one of a few) for a dinner I will be hosting for 20 people. Do you have any recommendations for scaling this recipe up a lot? Could I then make the sauce in one pot and cook the pasta in another? Should I then use less water in the sauce, and maybe home made hummus to reduce costs? Would love to hear your ideas 😊

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 23, 2024, 8:57 p.m.

Hey Miriam, we're so glad you're enjoying the pasta! You can indeed make the sauce in one large pot and cook the pasta separately to avoid overcrowding. Keeping them separate will also let you more easily taste the sauce and adjust any seasoning you feel might be needed. We'd recommend starting with less water in the sauce and adding more as needed to the desired consistency. Using homemade hummus is a lovely idea for a cost-effective option. Happy hosting 😃


Elyse - Feb. 12, 2024, 5:23 a.m.

This dish has become a staple for me and I made it this evening for a ‘Galentines dinner’ and it was a hit! It’s super easy and very delicious - - it’s very velvety with little bursts of subtle spiciness

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2024, 9:13 p.m.

Aww thanks for welcoming us to the Galentines festivities, Elyse! We're so happy that the rosé pasta was enjoyed 😃


Julia Kobzar - Feb. 8, 2024, 2:50 p.m.

Tastes good and easy to prepare.


Claire Whittaker - Jan. 30, 2024, 3:31 p.m.

This is one of my favourite ways to have pasta (and I don't even normally like humus!). Made it so many times with different veggie combos and with and without adding the extra cream/alternative and it's still yummy. I find it way too liquidy though if I follow the recipe to the letter so I just add water in small amounts as needed rather than in one go as well as reducing the tomato to one jars worth. Plus I always reduce the chilli and garlic on all PUL recipies as I do not have the same stamina for them as your team obviously does haha! But that's a personal preference thing :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 31, 2024, 7:18 a.m.

Hey there, Claire, how great to hear you're enjoying the rośe pasta! Adjusting the liquid and spice levels to suit your taste is a lovely idea. It's always wonderful to hear about how we can tailor recipes to our personal preferences. Happy cooking 🙌


Audrey - Jan. 28, 2024, 12:11 a.m.

So yummy! I subbed basil for the arugula and used cashew cream in place of the soy, which worked quite well :)


Elyse - Jan. 23, 2024, 3:52 p.m.

Super creamy, luscious, and delicious! I love pink sauce and love that hummus is the main driver of creaminess for this one. I actually made it with long-strand pasta that I cooked in water separately and then added to the pan with the sauce once slightly pre-al dente (so two-pot pasta 🤷‍♀️🥴!) I ended up omitting the artichokes and dialed down the heat (just for preference). I also added more hummus for extra creaminess and used a full-fat oat milk instead of coconut. Thinking of using roasted red pepper hummus next time, as well🤔. But definitely making it again ….such a comforting and delightful sauce! Thanks, as always, PUL💕

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 23, 2024, 10:32 p.m.

Hello dearest Elyse, thank YOU a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the rosé pasta! Roasted red pepper hummus is a delicious idea. Happy cooking ☺️

Kaitlin Mitchell - Jan. 17, 2024, 10:37 p.m.

Tasty and simple. Artichoke a little bit lost in the dish would potentially add in something with a bit more texture. But overall great dish

Jule - March 1, 2024, 10:10 p.m.

I have to agree. I could barely taste them. Now I'm using black olives, sun-dried tomatoes or even just green peas instead :) Also less expensive


Alicia Alcaraz - Jan. 16, 2024, 6:20 p.m.

This is a staple in my kitchen. Guests are really impressed when I make this


Poiven Capp - Jan. 9, 2024, 3:51 a.m.

delicious and easy to make! I never would have thought to put hummus in pasta sauce but it works really well! I also added some peas for extra legumes and swapped in spinach for arugula because it's what I had

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 9, 2024, 10:18 p.m.

Very delicious and easy to come together! Based off the comments, I used only one bouillon cube and that did the trick.

Alexandra Salahoru - Nov. 11, 2023, 3:18 p.m.

This is extremely good. Definetely to replicate!!!


Emily - Nov. 10, 2023, 3 p.m.

Very creamy, easy and tasty. Mine came out very salty though, not sure what I did to cause that! Or maybe its the taste of the artichoke that I'm not used to?
Either way - it's a nice dish.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 10, 2023, 4:32 p.m.

Hey there, Emily, it's possible that the dish turned out salty due to the combination of vegetable bouillon cubes, hummus, and marinated artichoke hearts. If you prefer a less salty taste you could reduce the bouillon cubes or opt for low-sodium versions, and you may want to use unsalted hummus. Adjusting these elements can balance the flavours and reduce the overall saltiness. So glad it was still enjoyed overall 🤗


Priscila Pereira - Oct. 22, 2023, 3:53 a.m.

Made this dish for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I used lite coconut milk and couldn’t taste ;) I’ll add more artiguelho next time.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Sept. 11, 2023, 9:09 p.m.

Bruna - Jan. 6, 2023, 7:45 a.m.

Hi! Love this recipe. I haven't made it in a couple years admittedly, but the last couple times I made it I had a problem with the pasta sticking to the bottom of the pan. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, I tried to stir the pasta consistently, add more oil, but nothing worked. Do you have any suggestions, or would it be easier for me to just cook the pasta separate from the sauce?

Thank you

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 6, 2023, 9:41 a.m.

Hey Bruna, I can think of three things that might help 1) drop the heat, if it's too hot the bottom can indeed burn, 2) try a cast-iron or non-stick pot, 3) stir often to prevent sticking. You can definitely also cook the pasta separately, but then just a heads up to omit the water in the sauce, or add in small splashes as needed until the sauce is at your desired consistency. I hope this helps! 😊

Bruna - Jan. 6, 2023, 9:34 p.m.

Perfect, thank you!

What's the alternative to b.cubes?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 28, 2022, 6:37 p.m.

Hi Divya 😃 The vegetable bouillon cube and water can be substituted for equal parts vegetable stock or broth. You could also opt for just water if desired. We recommend giving the pasta a taste test in this case, and adding some salt and other spices if you think it needs it. We hope you enjoy the recipe if you give it a try!

Wanted to ask about the hummus. Yours look light red in colour, what flavour was your hummus, as it didn't look as the classic one. Thank you so much for creating such delicious recipes for us. We are a big fans from London xxx

Oh, Valeria, you're too kind! We used a spicy pepper hummus. Thank you for helping make our PUL community so incredible 💛


Tiffany - May 16, 2022, 1:34 p.m.

This recipe was shockingly filling and scrumptious! Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 16, 2022, 6:51 p.m.

Woohoo! Thanks, Tiffany 😊


Tom - March 13, 2022, 3:43 p.m.

Hi! I was wondering what I could use instead of the tomato sauce (I can't seem to find some good quality one)- maybe diced tomatoes? and artichoke hearts? Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 14, 2022, 1:59 a.m.

Hey Tom! Diced tomatoes can work as an alternative to tomato sauce. If using canned diced tomatoes, you could drain and blend to a smooth consistency, or leave the diced tomatoes whole for a chunkier sauce adding liquid to the desired consistency.

The artichoke hearts can be omitted, or substituted with another accessible vegetable on hand. Asparagus, other coloured bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes are some ideas that may pair well. Do let us know how it goes if you give the modifications a try 😃


Tamara - Feb. 11, 2022, 4:59 p.m.

This recipe ist absolutely incredible and one of our long-time favorites! We use 1 zucchini and 1 fresh bell pepper for 2 people and we roast and season the veggies in a separate pan before adding them to the pot. It takes a little longer but it tastes amazing!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 11, 2022, 5:35 p.m.

A lovely idea, Tamara! We're so happy the pasta is being enjoyed :)


Geetha - Feb. 6, 2022, 9:16 p.m.

This was simply delicious! I made roasted pepper hummus too and then made the dish. I used broccoli and spinach along with zuchini and bell peppers. Other than the pasta wanting to stick to the pot I didn’t have any issues. This is going to be a regular at my house! Thanks for posting this dish!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 6, 2022, 10:53 p.m.

Mmm that sounds incredible, Geetha, thanks for the ideas 🤤


Brigitt - Jan. 24, 2022, 5:14 p.m.

This is honestly one of my favorite dishes ever. I have been following you on Youtube for quite some time and I think I made this dish at least once a month for the past two years. Everyone I made this for loved it.

Also, well done on the upgrades of the website. I love love love all of the effort you put into the details everywhere. Everything just works so well. Please keep on creating your inspirational food! Much love from Nijmegen.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 26, 2022, 6:38 a.m.

Awe Brigitt, this is a massive compliment! We're so happy to hear and sending an abundance of love to Nijmegen ❣️


Andrea - Jan. 16, 2022, 6:32 p.m.

Great Recipe Sadia, thanks for sharing. Can I avoid or replace the bouillon cubes as I don't like to use them?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 16, 2022, 8:49 p.m.

Hey Andrea! The vegetable bouillon cube and water can be substituted for equal parts vegetable stock or broth. You could also opt for just water if desired. We recommend giving the pasta a taste test in this case, and adding some salt and other spices if you think it needs it. We hope this helps for now and you enjoy the recipe 🙂


Krissie - Jan. 8, 2022, 7:22 p.m.

Just cooked this recipe and the sauce really is delicious! Very rich and comforting and it comes together so quickly, too! I don't like zucchini or artichokes so I substituted for mushrooms and brussel sprouts which was a fun twist. So looking forward to having the leftovers tomorrow!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 10, 2022, 2:02 a.m.

Mmm delicious substitutes, Krissie - thank you for taking the time to share 🤩


Lizzy - Nov. 10, 2021, 3:07 a.m.

It was delicious, we loved the creamy sauce. Definitely a winner for my partner, will make again soon!


Kaylin - Oct. 26, 2021, 8 p.m.

I've made this about 10 times. It is one of the most incredible recipes I've ever had.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 27, 2021, 2:27 a.m.

Oh, Kaylin, we appreciate this so much! Glad the pasta is being enjoyed ✨


Linda - Oct. 16, 2021, 4:43 p.m.

This was such an easy recipe, cooking it all in one pot and the whole family enjoyed it.

This dish was absolutely ✨AMAZING✨
Didn’t have any nutritional yeast, but it was still wonderful😍


Anna - Aug. 18, 2021, 7:32 p.m.

This pasta is sooooo good. I will definitely cook it again.

Thank you for showing amazing vegan recipes that helps me and my family to cut on meat consumption and add more vegan options to our every day meals 💚 all the recipes from Pick Up Limes I’ve cooked so far are very delish.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 19, 2021, 8:28 p.m.

Oh, Anna, you're too kind! So glad you're enjoying the pasta and other PUL recipes 🥰


Emily - Aug. 3, 2021, 12:48 p.m.

This is my favourite pasta dish ever. I am not personally a fan of zucchini, so I substitute this for mushrooms and it is delicious!


manucrw - July 30, 2021, 1:22 p.m.

I've been living in Italy for 11 years and I'm sure any Italian would feel offended by this recipe BUT WHO CARES!!! I tried this pasta recipe and I LOVED IT so much 💓💓💓 thanks for the recipe 😍😙💞


Leslee - July 28, 2021, 3:26 p.m.

A regular in our home


Kim Bresseleers - July 25, 2021, 2:21 p.m.

This pasta is so yummy! An immediate favorite of the family

Not normally a fan of houmous but this recipe is delicious 😋


Astrid - July 23, 2021, 12:08 p.m.

One recipe we make regularly at home! Shared this pasta recipe with a lot of friends and family :) And always positive response even though they are not vegan. Thank you Sadia and crew for al your hard work !!!


Jamie - July 19, 2021, 3:39 p.m.

This has become one of our favorite recipes to throw together if we’re having a few friends over. I love how simple and versatile it is and everyone who has tried it has loved it so far. I love mushrooms so I like to add some to this dish when adding the other vegetables.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 20, 2021, 3:23 p.m.

Love the addition of mushrooms, Jamie!


Caitlin - July 15, 2021, 8:47 p.m.

Such a creamy, delicious, flavorful and filling dish! It will forever be a favorite!


Emma Roach - July 12, 2021, 10:01 p.m.

This pasta is amazing! I made it about thirty minutes before I had to get ready for work and still had time to clean up my kitchen! The artichoke hearts really bring it together in my opinion it will definitely be a fairly common meal now!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 16, 2021, 3:48 a.m.

We appreciate this so much, Emma, so glad you enjoyed it!


Anna - July 11, 2021, 11:58 a.m.

Great recipe, easy to make and soooooo yummy! Rosé is now my go-to :)


Sarah - July 10, 2021, 4:14 p.m.

So delicious! I was looking for a vegan/vegetarian recipe and I found this dish. Full of veggies and leaves you full and happy. Even my bf, who's a picky eater, loved it.

Ps: if you don't find pine nuts or want to make it more budget friendly, you can totally use roasted unsalted peanuts

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 15, 2021, 3:18 p.m.

So happy you're enjoying the pasta, Sarah, thank you!


Alicia - July 8, 2021, 11 p.m.

Loved this recipe! Never thought about adding hummus to pasta, and I really loved the spiciness and veggies!
I used the Banza chickpea pasta and found that there was still a lot of liquid left at the end, which I’m guessing is because the penne doesn’t absorb much liquid. Still delicious!!


Alexxis - July 8, 2021, 10:57 p.m.

So yummy! This recipe inspired me to use hummus in lots of different pasta sauces


Samantha - July 8, 2021, 10:45 p.m.

This meal gets made very frequently. I love it, and the fact that it's a one-pot meal makes it even better. I made this one night for my father who is an avid meat eater, he really liked it and said it was very filling!

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 11, 2021, 2:55 p.m.

What a compliment! Thank you for the glowing review, Samantha, we're so happy your family enjoyed the pasta 😃


Jennifer - July 8, 2021, 5:43 p.m.

This is a staple recipe in my kitchen. My non-vegan partner absolutely loves eating this and I love making it because it is so easy because of the one-pot aspect. Flavors are on point and can be custom to what you want more or less of. I think the directions/order could be changed. I have tweaked it to fit my preferences. I like the vegetables cooked more and the way this recipe is written, the veggies come out harder/undercooked. I find that they need way longer to steam in the sauce, so instead, I just cook the veggies in the pot first and then add my sauce and hummus, and pasta.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 9, 2021, 9:33 p.m.

Thank you for the review, Jennifer! One-pot recipes for pasta can be tricky to increase the cooking time for vegetables without overcooking other ingredients. We're glad you've found an alternative way to enjoy the pasta 😃


Angeliki - June 7, 2021, 10 p.m.

I also cooked this dish tonight. For hummus, I used the rest I had from a wild garlic one I made in April, as wild garlic was abundant.
One question about the quantities, esp pasta: what's the reason of not using the whole package of pasta (I think it comes everywhere in 500 gr packages)? I mean, what do you do with the rest 215 gr of penne left over in the package?... I find it more practical when the recipes ask for the entire or half of the packaged ingredients, don't you?
Or does it have to do with your cup measurement? Or the servings? Cheers, Angeliki

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 9, 2021, 5:20 a.m.

Hello Angeliki, thank you for the question! We opted to round to 3 cups of pasta, which for penne worked out to be around 285 grams, as we believed this may be easier to quantify. In our experience, bags of pasta can vary a lot depending on the brand, location, and how it's packaged (for example, bulk versus non-bulk packaging). We've taken note of your comment to consider for future recipes though and the feedback is very much appreciated!

In the meantime, using our serving size adjuster (the plus and minus buttons beside the serving size) may be helpful. For this recipe, it looks like adjusting it to 7 servings will provide the portions for using 500 grams of penne 🙂 Do let us know if there's anything else we can assist with ✨

Angeliki - June 9, 2021, 10:13 a.m.

Thank you!
I have never cooked or baked with the cup method, so this is why I feel a bit awkward with it, plus I love precision.
But I think that sometimes recipes are indeed just inspirations where we can adjust to the quantities that are working best for each of us. I have some roasted peppers and artichokes leftovers in the glass from that recipe which I plan to use shortly. Do you have any suggestions?
Good point about the bulk products, too! I just have to weigh all the carbohydrates before cooking, because my husband is diabetic and needs it for the insulin calculation!

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 10, 2021, 3:20 p.m.

That's totally fair, Angeliki! We all have different preferences in the kitchen so it's helpful to hear feedback. So incredible that you support your husband with insulin dosing as well! For the leftovers, our Vegan Paella may be a fun way to use them up 🙂


Ruth - April 27, 2021, 2:39 a.m.

I made this dish tonight and it was absolutely amazing! I had no arugula and used spinach😊 I will definitely make this again‼️

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 27, 2021, 7:17 a.m.

A lovely sub, Ruth!


Mp - April 21, 2021, 6:53 a.m.

Made the dish tonight. Absolutely delicious. I ended up using an all seasoning for the veggie buillon.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 22, 2021, 3:09 a.m.

So glad you enjoyed the pasta, Mp 😍


Mp - April 20, 2021, 7:04 a.m.

Can you give me a great veggie boullin recommendation that does not have as much chemicals like yeast extract or maltodextrin?

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 22, 2021, 1:21 a.m.

Hey there Mp, we usually buy a brand called Maggi from a local store here called Albert Heijn. If you prefer, the vegetable bouillon cube can be substituted for vegetable stock or broth. Give it a taste test, and add more salt if you think it needs :)


PS - April 17, 2021, 12:35 a.m.

Can I use any kind of hummus for this? don't have any at home right and would like to try this pasta tonight!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 19, 2021, 2:34 a.m.

Feel free to use any hummus, PS! It will help add creaminess and a bit of flavour, so perhaps a roasted red pepper or classic garlic hummus would compliment the flavours nicely. Whatever you prefer 😁


Jo-Ann Meza - April 3, 2021, 10:02 p.m.

This is a pasta recipe that I keep coming back to! I've made this countless times with many veggie variations, and this is easily one of my favorite recipes ever. My partner requests this one often, and considering it is so easy to make, I would make it every day if it was acceptable lol. Definitely recommend this for those that love pasta with a kick of spice to it :)
