Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by salting the zucchini to draw out excess moisture; slice it into thin rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until beads of water form, then pat dry with a paper towel.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add your pasta of choice and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8–10 minutes. Drain pasta and rinse under cold water, then transfer to a large mixing bowl along with spinach and artichokes.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion with a pinch of salt, and sauté for about 4–5 minutes until translucent. Transfer onions to the mixing bowl.
- In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and place zucchini rounds cut-side down. Cook for around 3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3 minutes. Add zucchini to the mixing bowl.
- In a blender, combine fresh basil, parsley, vegan yogurt, miso paste, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed for desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are coated. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
