For a bright and summery dish, try this fettuccine with lemon cream sauce. The dairy-free sauce is made from tahini and a generous amount of lemon for a super fresh flavor. Add in peppery arugula for a little kick.
Bean pastas are much healthier than wheat pastas. Not only are they gluten-free, but they are packed with so much fiber and protein. This Explore Cuisine mung bean fettuccine has a whopping 11g of fiber and 22g of protein per serving…so you can have your pasta and eat it, too!

Fettuccine with Lemon Cream Sauce (Dairy-Free)
Ingredients
Pasta
- 1 box Mung Bean Fettucine
- 4-6 cups baby arugula
- 1-2 cups frozen peas optional
Lemon Cream Sauce
- 6 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 lemon zest 1 lemon, divide it in half, set aside. Then, juice both lemons (should yield about 6 Tbsp. juice)

Instructions
- Bring pot of water to a boil, and cook pasta according to directions. Put the arugula in a large mixing bowl. If using the peas, add them to the pot about 5 minutes before the pasta is done, to cook together.
