Conchiglioni Pasta Pistachio and Vegan Blue Cheese Sauce

2022-07-29

Jump To Recipe

I had ravioli with pistachio and blue cheese sauce a few years ago in an Italian restaurant. It was delicious; I couldn’t understand why this dish was seasonal and not part of the restaurant’s regular menu.

I searched for the recipe online, planning to veganize it, but nothing I found resembled that excellent dish. So I changed the concept and improvised. With all my love and respect for ravioli, I admit that the preparation is tedious! Luckily we have these giant pasta shells on the market, which make a good substitute.

I filled the cooked pasta shells with a mixture of soy cream cheese and pistachio puree and placed them in the oven on low heat, to keep them warm. Meanwhile, I made a sauce based on a recipe I found online with homemade vegan blue cheese.

I poured the sauce over the warm shells, sprinkled chopped pistachios and chili flakes, and served.

Silence prevailed around the table! Everyone was focused on the dish😋

Enjoy every bite and let me know how it turned out😋❣️
