Spaghetti is one of those classic meals that anyone can make at home. Besides requiring only a minimal amount of ingredients, a pasta dish can be prepared in less than an hour with a few pots and pans. Pasta is already tasty in itself, but when you add a dash of hemp, you may find yourself enjoying a more relaxing dining experience along with a one-of-a-kind dish.
Whether you’re having guests over or simply planning to enhance your everyday meals, you can incorporate weed into your kitchen creations in a variety of ways. With that in mind, here are some nifty pasta recipes that may entice you to schedule that herb delivery for your unconventional pasta nights.
CBD-Infused Penne Rosa
Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a type of cannabis oil commonly used in 420-friendly pasta dishes. CBD oil contains small traces of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which causes the main psychoactive effects of weed. Some people are partial to CBD oil more than hemp oil, which also comes from the plant Cannabis sativa. Because CBD oil lacks THC, you won’t feel the same high as you would with edibles or vapes. Still, CBD can make you feel less stressed and anxious, which is great when you’re enjoying a quiet dinner at home.
That said, Penne Rosa is a classic tomato-based pasta dish you can create with a few simple ingredients, including CBD oil. For this dish, you will need:
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Red pepper flakes
- Button mushrooms
- Medium-sized tomatoes
- Spinach
- Marinara sauce
- Whole-wheat penne pasta
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Parmesan cheese
- CBD oil
To create the CBD-infused sauce, you first need to heat a tablespoon of olive oil at medium-low. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and four cloves of minced garlic into the mix, then sauteé until the garlic starts to soften. Afterwards, add eight ounces of mushroom, two tomatoes, and four cups of spinach for about five minutes. Add a half-cup of marinara sauce, then sprinkle some salt and pepper to your taste.
While letting the sauce rest, mix six teaspoons of CBD oil into a ⅓ cup of Greek yogurt. Stir the yogurt mixture thoroughly, then add it to the pasta sauce. Prepare 12 ounces of penne to mix thoroughly into the combined sauce. Divide the pasta into bowls and top them off with grated parmesan cheese.
Spicy Mexican-Style Cannabis Pasta
Adding a tinge of Latin American flair to your pasta dish is a sure way to tickle your tastebuds with flavorful spices. For a Mexican-style pasta meal, you must have:
- Ground beef
- Diced tomatoes
- Tomato paste
- Chicken broth and stock
- Basil
- Red pepper flakes
- Garlic
- Parsley
- Cinnamon
- Ground chipotle pepper
- Olive oil
- Onion
- CBD oil
- Pasta
To prepare the sauce, you need to first warm a teaspoon of olive oil over a saucepan. Then, add garlic and onion until both ingredients turn soft. Make sure to gradually reduce the heat to a medium level.
Add one cup of chicken stock, one cup of broth, a pound of ground beef, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes. Then, add four individual tablespoons of basil and red pepper flakes, as well as a teaspoon of chipotle pepper. For the parsley and cinnamon, limit the measurements to two teaspoons each. Cook the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour a bit of CBD oil and sprinkle extra seasoning to your taste. Serve with pasta.
Vegan CBD Pasta
To make your pasta dish extra organic, you can use purely vegan ingredients that add slivers of freshness and zest. For your vegan CBD pasta, you need:
- CBD oil
- Canned or fresh tomatoes
- Roasted red peppers
- Basil leaves
- Spinach
- Onions
- Olive oil
- Tomato paste
- Minced garlic cloves
- Diced zucchini and yellow squash
- Mushroom powder
- Dry oregano
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper
While heating six tablespoons of olive oil, pour a bit of CBD oil with your desired dosage. Mix in the squash, zucchini, onions, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes, then add the tomato paste. Heat the mixture over medium heat and cook until all ingredients soften.
Afterwards, add your roasted peppers (chopped), tomatoes, pepper, oregano, and three teaspoons of mushroom powder. Cook for 10 minutes, then mix with hot spaghetti. Garnish with parmesan cheese before serving.
Cannabis Pasta Pesto
Pesto pasta is a well-loved traditional dish known for its vibrant, herbal flavors. To create a unique cannabis twist to your pesto sauce, you only need to bring out:
- Basil
- Spinach
- Olive oil
- Walnuts
- Broccoli sprouts
- Fresh lemon juice
- Salt
- CBD oil
- Edamame spaghetti
For your pesto sauce, you first need to whisk your CBD oil with a ⅓ cup of olive oil until both are properly combined. In a separate container, blend the rest of the pesto ingredients: one cup of basil, a half-cup of spinach, ¼ cup of walnuts and broccoli sprouts, juice from half a lemon, and a sprinkle of salt. Add the oil mixture and stir thoroughly. Finally, mix the pesto sauce with edamame spaghetti and serve in bowls.
A Tasty Way to Enjoy Weed
Apart from giving your dishes a unique flavor, weed-oil infusions can serve as a great initiation into a healthy 420 lifestyle. Infusing cannabis into meals is simple, discreet, and safe for weed first-timers—mostly because cannabis oil allows you to microdose the herb’s potency through several servings.
In the end, cannabis-laced pasta meals can be a fun way to experience the wonders of weed—both for the enthusiasts and the uninitiated. After all, nothing beats being extra chilled out while savoring the flavors of a timeless bowl of spaghetti.
