Crowd-Favorite Green Goddess Pasta Salad for Your Next Potluck

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. 2

   Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, or until the pasta is slightly firm. Drain the pasta, then transfer it to a large bowl to cool.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, add the spinach, basil, chives, shallot, garlic, cashews, Parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, vinegar, and lemon juice to a blender. Pulse to begin blending. With the motor running, stream in the olive oil to emulsify to your preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

4. 4

   Steam the peas and asparagus until slightly tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, blanch the vegetables or microwave them with a little water for the same amount of time. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water, drain, and place on top of the pasta along with the green onions.

5. 5

   Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables and toss gently to combine. Use as much dressing as you like, depending on how coated you want the pasta. Add the feta and herbs, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
