Mushroom Walnut Edamame Pasta

If you shop at Costco, you’ve probably seen these Edamame Spaghetti Noodles.

The question is, what’s the best way to cook them?

Check out my recipe below and you’ll come to love edamame pasta after making this!v

What is edamame pasta?

Well, it’s not your everyday pasta noodle.

It’s made with two ingredients…edamame beans and water. That’s it!

This means they’re very light and fragile, which means they break apart easily.

Right out of the box, I tried using them in place of whole-grain pasta with a traditional, red sauce.

To be totally honest, I did not love the results.

Buuuuut, when I babied them a little, they came to life in their own special way!

Please note, this is not a sponsored post, I simply wanted to give you my story, and a recipe, with this very unique product.

How to cook edamame spaghetti noodles

You’re basically cooking them using the same method as any wheat pasta, but…

  • Don’t expect edamame noodles to act like wheat pasta. Just allow them to be fragile and expect that they’ll fall apart a little during the process.
  • Don’t overcook them…it’s easy to do because they only require about 4 minutes to fully cook.
  • Be very gentle when rinsing and draining. They’ll be prettier, trust me.

What I love about edamame pasta

A 2 oz serving of the Explore Asian brand edamame noodles has 1303g potassium, 25g protein, and 11g fiber.

The sodium in that serving is 3mg.

I want these numbers in my life!

They’re also certified organic, naturally gluten-free…and vegan; i.e., no egg product!

I’m not restricted, but I’m always on board with eating a plant-powered diet!

I’m happy to try any product that’s innovating those characteristics, especially if it’s a convenience food…and it very much is.

    Bought the same edamame noodles at Costco and searched online for a good recipe to try. Saw the good reviews on this so decided to try it, plus the ingredients were simple and a short list. I followed the ingredients & instructions to a T and unfortunately it had zero flavor. Only way I was able to add some flavor (without adding other ingredients) was by tripling the salt & pepper the recipe called for. And even then it still tasted meh. Giving this recipe one star because while I like to eat healthy, I also want my food to taste good.

      Hi Glen, well, I’ve def never promoted this recipe as a “must-make”. In fact, these noodles are…not very flavorful and can be difficult to work with. But, that was my intent of this post…hopefully that comes across. The recipe is one application and always customizable. You sure won’t see me telling you to give it another go LOL…stick with the classics.

    • Martie says

      I just made a olive oil and mushroom sause and added a spoon of water based chopped garlic. Pepper and a little pinch of salt. A little light sprinkling of parmesan and it was perfect.

  5. Arlene Milgram says

    If this calls for 2oz of pasta I can only assume than it is for a single serving. Am I correct?

    • Traci Antonovich says

      Hi Arlene, the total yield of the final dish is about 4 cups. So, if it’s a main dish, yeah, we’d probably call that 1 serving in our house. I hope this answers your question 🙂

    This is great, Traci! A high-protein vegan dish is just what I was looking for, and I think we have some of this edamame pasta laying around our house somewhere!

      Oh yay! Glad you found this one, Brooke! I forgot to mention this one to you. It’s the only way I like eating these noodles, actually. Hope you like the recipe 🙂

    This recipe is a good “starting” point but, in and of itself, is boring. Sorry! No offense. I added a LOT more olive oil. I sauted separately broccoli rabe with garlic and cut it small enough to add to the dish. I also added about a tablespoon of champagne vinegar and parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. It was good. I also tried the tip to put the edamame noodles in room temperature water for an hour before and then run hot water over them.I liked that al dente quality of the noodles.

      Heyyy Jennifer, none taken. Not every recipe can be a home run with everyone. I think that right out of the gate, these noodles are a challenging flavor and texture, which is why I keep them super simple and allow people to embellish, just like you did. I mostly wanted my readers to know that they shouldn’t try to sub these noodles into their conventional, red-sauce pasta entree (b/c I did that once…and ewwww LOL). Thanks for your feedback

  9. Amy Lynn Berteotti says

    So these noodles are a staple in our house. We never boil them though. We soak them in room temperature water for 1 hour and they stay together perfectly. You can them place warm sauce on them or simply run them under hot tap water for a few seconds. You can soak them longer I you like them softer than al dente.

      Amy, that’s such a great tip! I’m going to try that next time I have a box on hand. I always soak rice noodles, so yeah, I could see this working great. Thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙂

  10. Michelle says

    I’ll try this! I made the same mistake with the noodles and hated them. Maybe the mushrooms and walnuts will lend themselves better to the taste of the edamame which was HORRID with pasta sauce

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    • Traci Antonovich says

      Awesome Michelle! I totally hear you about the pasta sauce…that wasn’t my thing either, which is why I came up with this concoction. I figured you can’t go wrong with mushrooms and walnuts on any noodles, right? Hope it turns out to your liking! Cheers!

    I’ve never heard of edamame noodles. I can not wait to look for them as I’m always looking for fun and good alternatives to traditional pasta! Your recipe looks so delicious and simple and I can’t wait to make it.

    Now I wish I shopped at Costco, because I’ve never seen these but they’re lovely and they sound delicious!

      Haha, well you can always order them on Amazon. I even have it all linked up in the blog post if you ever get in the mood to try the product. It’s funny b/c so many people haven’t heard of them, and they appear to only be at Costco from what people have said. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
