Creamy, flavorful, nourishing pesto cream pasta sauce. This creamy lemon pesto white bean sauce is light and fresh, dairy free, easy to make, and so dreamy.

A new go-to pasta sauce, for sure! Made with staples that I always have on hand- many of which are easy pantry staples! This sauce will pair perfectly with any noodle or veggie noodle you have on hand, plus any protein if you want 🙂

This pesto cream sauce sneaks in a bunch of nutrients- from green veggies and fiber-rich white beans, and some healthy fats. It is truly magical!

This sauce is perfect when you want something that feels fancy but is healthy and super easy to whip up. All you need is 10 minutes or less to get dinner on the table! Such a win.

I can’t wait for you guys to try this new pasta sauce. Be sure to let me know if you give this a try 🙂 Enjoy! xo
