What are Edamame Noodles?

Edamame noodles are noodles made entirely out of the edamame bean. This makes the noodle vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free. Normally, these noodles are made with a sauce and to be enjoyed with many different recipes.

Can you replace pasta with edamame noodles?

Edamame is such a versatile vegetable, and it can be used in so many different recipes! We all know that it tastes great on its own, whether you are enjoying it steamed with some salt or used tossed in a salad! But did you know that it can also be used as a substitute for pasta? Say what? Yes, you read that right. It is possible to use edamame as noodles in your favorite pasta dishes. They work well in any recipe that calls for pasta.

What is Pesto?

Pesto is a sauce that originated in Genoa, the capital city of Liguria, Italy. Traditionally, the sauce is made up of basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt, and Parmigiano-Reggiano all blended together in olive oil. Accompaniments may include the most popular past, meat, potatoes, other veggies, and my personal favorite, a spoonful directly into my mouth. YIKES, did I just say that?
