Ingredients
- 3 cup cauliflower
- ⅓ cup raw cashews
- 1 yellow onion, halved and divided
- 3 garlic cloves
- 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, divided
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp liquid aminos, soy sauce, or tamari
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp tapioca flour
- ¼ cup water, or broth
- 4 cup spinach
- 10 oz pasta of choice, prepared according to package (I used shells made 100% from chickpeas)
Method
- Add cauliflower, cashews, garlic, and 1/2 the onion to a saucepan covered with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15-18 minutes until cauliflower is SUPER soft.
- Drain and transfer to a high speed blender with remaining ingredients (except 1/2 onion, spinach, half of the artichokes, and pasta). Blend on high until super smooth and creamy. Season to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta and sauté the onion, spinach, and remaining artichokes until tender.
- Drain pasta and return to saucepan. Pour in sauce and stir to combine. Mix in sautéed veggies. Serve hot garnished with fresh parsley! YUM!

Can’t seem to figure out if the whole 14 oz. can of artichoke hearts are used and how they are used- diced?,Put in with the spinach and onion? It says divided but does mot indicate if all are used. Clearer instructions would be helpful on this one. “You will only use half the artichokes and can save the rest for another recipe likey spinach and artichoke dip”…for example.
Hi Mary-Ellen, Sorry to hear you were confused with the instructions. The can is divided, as step 2 mentions, you blend half of the can with the cauliflower and cashews. The second half of the can as mentioned in step 3 is sauteed with the onion and spinach. The whole can is used.
Wow! So flavorful, and hubby approved. This will be on our regular rotation. I used gnocchi instead of pasta for the first time and loved it. Thank you!
Love the switch of gnocchi – that must have been delicious! Thanks for sharing your modifications!
