Lemon Ricotta Spaghetti with Asparagus

Bright, creamy, and protein-packed — this Lemon Ricotta Spaghetti with Asparagus is springtime in a bowl. Tender asparagus and al dente spaghetti are tossed in a lemon–tofu sauce that’s rich in protein and umami from miso and nutritional yeast. It’s light yet satisfying, ready in under 30 minutes, and proof that comfort food can be both nourishing and elegant.

Notes

The sauce may curdle if added to a very hot pan—if you’re reheating or mixing in the pan, do it over low heat to keep the texture creamy. 🌾 For a GF option use certified GF spaghetti. 🫙 Store the sauce in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add a splash of water when reheating. Cook the pasta fresh for best texture. ❄️ Sauce can be frozen, but cook pasta fresh for best texture.

A ladle is subjective and mine was wayyy to much I’d revise to specify an amount here!

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for the feedback, I’ll review the wording and update accordingly! If the sauce is too runny you can let it cook slightly longer next time, it’ll thicken up 😊

Delicious! The lemon pairs very well with the asparagus. I would say use small ladles. I made my sauce too thin by accident 😅
