Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto: in a food processor, combine the almonds (or cashews), garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and blend again until you reach your desired consistency – smooth or slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the desired amount of pesto and toss until well combined.
Gently fold in the artichoke hearts.
Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan cheese, if using.
