Hot dang, that Dijon got tang.
A few months ago, we had like no food in the house, and after working all day, I didn’t feel like going to the store. Thus, vegan creamy Dijon veggie pasta was born. It was so incredibly freaking delicious, I decided I needed to recreate it on purpose and share it with all of you. The sauce is only four ingredients, then you just need some veggies and pasta.
The ultra lush creaminess in this Dijon sauce comes from hummus. So this is comfort food that is actually good for you and protein filled! I like to use broccoli if I have it on hand, to pump up the protein content even more! This 20 minute, 9 ingredient meal will be your new go to weeknight meal!
Vegan creamy Dijon veggie pasta is creamy, tangy, rich and hearty! The beauty of this recipe is that it is super adaptable. You can switch up the veggies you use. I used broccoli, mushrooms and carrots. However, this is a great empty out the fridge meal! Use what you have! You can also use different flavors of hummus, the first time I made it, I used super garlicky hummus! Sometimes I use plain, but mostly I use whatever I have on hand!
If you have been searching for a quick and easy, but incredibly healthy meal, look no further. Vegan creamy Dijon veggie pasta can be made gluten free with the use of gluten free pasta, and can be adapted to any diet! This recipe will be a lifesaver! For real!
Vegan Creamy Dijon Veggie Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
- 4 Cloves Garlic, chopped

- Serve immediately!
Notes
The vegan creamy Dijon veggie pasta looks and sounds yummy. I will definitely try it. Think it could be served at room temp? Maybe at a picnic?
It is super yummy! I actually have had it room temperature, and it is really good that way too!
Looks amazing, what does the c refer to? ie 1/2 c of hummus?
C stands for cup!:)
I might throw in some Brussels sprouts! They’re my favorite veg these days.
I made this with chickpea pasta. Absolutely delicious. I boiled the veggies for a bit as I like the really soft, and added some vegan butter.
