- 1 lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, diced

- Add the non-dairy milk, beans, water, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning and black pepper.
- Blend until smooth. Pour the sauce into the pan with the rest of the mushrooms and onions.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add pasta and cook as directed. When pasta is al dente,

- medium. Once the sauce is warm, stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
