This wild garlic and edamame pesto pasta from Natlicious Food is a quick main you can make in about 10 minutes. It’s a simple way to turn a basic bowl of pasta into something more complete without adding extra steps. The pesto uses edamame to increase the protein content while keeping the texture smooth and easy to mix through the pasta.

The process stays straightforward. Cook the pasta, then toss it with the pesto, a few seasonings, and a splash of pasta water to help everything coat evenly. Hemp seeds add another source of plant protein and give the dish a slightly nutty finish. Cherry tomatoes go on at the end, adding freshness and a bit of contrast to the richer sauce.
