Lemon Asparagus Pasta With Vegan Bechamel Sauce

Going vegan comes with it's fair share of challenges. But thankfully giving up my favorite white sauce pasta did not feature anywhere on that intimidating list. Vegan cooking does call for a bit of tweaking if you want to keep enjoying your favorite dishes .
However, it is worth every effort when you weigh the benefits of switching to a plant based diet !
