Step 1

Cook the pasta according to box directions, reserving 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking water for the sauce.

Step 2

Make the sauce: While the pasta cooks, make your sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small blender or food processor and blending until smooth. Cover and set this in the fridge until ready to use.

Step 3

Saute the spinach: Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is slightly wilted.

Step 4

Assemble the dish: Toss the sauce with the drained pasta and 1/3 cup reserved pasta water. Then, stir in the spinach. Cover and heat on low stirring often until warmed through and the sauce has reached your desired thickness.

Step 5

Serve hot with vegan crab cakes and/or garlic bread, topped with freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
