Lemony pasta is a warm-weather fave. For this linguine with vegan lemon cream sauce, we use dairy-free cream cheese as a base to capture the creamy, sticky, cheesy quality of the classic. It also makes for a blissfully short grocery list. This base is great for adding in additional spring veggies, too. Try it was a toss of peas or asparagus, or add a bit of asparagus on top just before serving.
