Vegan Creamy Basil Pasta Recipe

When you think of creamy, dairy comes to mind, but when you're vegan you need an alternative to the usual basil pasta recipe. This is the vegan pasta recipe you can enjoy in all its creamy glory. It's easy enough for weeknight dinners. From a health standpoint, it is satisfying and less fattening than traditional butter-and-cream pasta sauces. Feel free to add additional flavors to taste; a bit of lemon juice and zest can be a wonderfully refreshing addition to both hot and cold pasta dishes like these. **this recipe is suitable for dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan diets, but as with any recipe intended for persons with allergies or dietary restrictions, make sure to read all nutritional labels carefully to make sure that there are no hidden dairy-derived ingredients (or gluten, egg, or wheat ingredients, if these apply to you).
