Creamy Lemon Corn Pasta is very rich and tasty recipe. It is pretty simple recipe with common ingredients. If you like the tanginess from Lemon then you will love this one. I love the fact that this recipe doesn’t require any fancy ingredients and not even cheese yes you heard it right. You don’t need cheese for this pasta. Pasta without cheese? Sounds weird? Then how you get the creaminess? It is cashew which gives the creaminess!
As title says it is Vegan version so no cream used. I was also little worried about sauce being curdled in traditional Lemon pasta where heavy cream used. In this version no such worry.
If you want to use Cream in the place of Cashew you should do with heavy cream otherwise it will curdle.
You can serve this pasta as after school snack or main. You can serve with bread butter toast.

A popular pasta dish that blends the tanginess of lemon with the richness of a creamy sauce is creamy lemon spaghetti. It usually consists of spaghetti or linguine noodles mixed in a creamy sauce consisting with heavy cream or cream cheese, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. The lemon juice offers a bright, fresh flavour that balances out the cream and cheese’s richness.
To create creamy lemon pasta, cook the pasta until it is al dente, then drain and leave aside. Cook the minced garlic in a little olive oil until fragrant before adding the cream or cream cheese and Parmesan cheese to the pan. Once the sauce has thickened, add the lemon juice and zest, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The spaghetti is then stirred in the sauce until thoroughly coated and cooked.
Creamy lemon pasta can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It can be cooked with a variety of pastas and with other items such as chicken, prawns or vegetables. It’s a simple and delicious pasta meal that’s quick to make and ideal for a weekday dinner.
