Sci-Fi Wasabi Pasta Salad


Quick, creamy, spicy, good!

Sauce:
8 T vegenaise
7 T plain soymilk
2 T rice vinegar
1-3 t wasabi, depending on desired spiciness
.5 t ground ginger
.5 t garlic powder
2 t nutritional yeast
salt and pepper to taste

1 pound pasta, cooked (I used whole wheat spirals)
1 package shelled edamame, cooked just until tender
1 medium carrot
2 small stalks celery
4 green onions
sesame seeds

Drain pasta and edamame as soon as they are cooked, then cool under cold running water.
Shred carrot using a vegetable peeler into (short or long) thin strips.
Slice celery and green onions very thin.
Blend dressing ingredients in a large bowl with a fork or whisk.
Add pasta to dressing, stir to coat.
Add vegetables, mix.
Adjust seasonings (I found it needed more salt and pepper than I expected).
Serve with sesame seeds on top.
