Ingredients

  • 500 gr pasta (we recommend whole grain linguini or spaghetti)
  • 30 cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 250 gr spinach
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast preferably B12-enhanced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 3 cups almond milk
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • ⅛ tsp chili powder (alternatively cayenne or black pepper)
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder (optional)
  • salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Start by boiling the pasta so they're ready when you need them later on. Boil them for about 2 minutes less than you normally would, as they'll also boil for a while in the sauce you'll make.
  • In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium to high heat.
  • Sauté the onion for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and continue for another half a minute.
  • Then add the cherry tomatoes and continue for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, stir for a minute and add the wine.
  • Once it evaporates, add the stock or water, almond milk and spices. Lower the temperature and let them simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Next, add the spinach, stir and leave for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the nutritional yeast and give a good stir.
  • Finally, remove the pan from the heat, add the pasta, stir well and leave it for 2 minutes.
  • Serve while they are hot. We can add freshly ground black pepper, chili, nutritional yeast or vegan topping (whipping in a blender ½ cup of cashews, 3 tbsp of nutritional yeast, ¼ kg of smoked paprika and ½ kg of garlic powder).

Notes

When you sauté the cherry tomatoes, you may squeeze them gently to get a little more of their juices into your sauce.
