Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
While pasta is cooking, add the beans, nutritional yeast, miso paste, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, pepper and water to a blender and puree until smooth and creamy.
Return the pasta to the pot and pour the sauce over the noodles. Stir to combine and add a small amount of pasta water at a time until desired creaminess is reached. Stir in lemon zest and season to taste. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
