Creamy spaghetti with leeks, peas and asparagus

This recipe for creamy spaghetti with leeks, peas and asparagus is the perfect spring pasta dish. It’s dairy-free, yet rich, creamy, and delicious!

Spring is in the air! It’s finally warming up outside, the snow is finally meting, and the market is getting stocked with some fresh spring ingredients. Yippee!

Even though there’s technically still snow on the ground, I thought I’d take advantage of what little bit of spring we have and get started on some new spring recipes.

This creamy spaghetti with leeks, peas, and asparagus is a new favourite weeknight dinner in my home. I use brown rice spaghetti to make it gluten-free, but you can try out this recipe with any type of pasta you like! (Maybe some bow-ties or fusilli)

This pasta recipes also stores great in the fridge for a few days. When you want to heat it up, simply add it to a pan with a splash of almond milk or coconut milk and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
