Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 oz Spaghetti *
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 5 oz Spinach
  • 1/4 cup Basil
  • 1/3 cup Parsley
  • 1/2 cup Silken Tofu **
  • 1 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Miso Paste
  • 1 - 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Calabrian Chilies (or red pepper flakes to taste)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Pasta Water (as needed)

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. I also recommend salting the water with about 1 tsp of salt.
  • While water gets to a boil and pasta cooks, add everything else to a blender and blend. You may need to add the spinach in batches since it takes up so much space in its raw form.
  • Once sauce is blended, taste and adjust for seasoning. Add anything that you like!
  • Heat the sauce up on medium low in a pan or saucier. If pasta is still cooking, keep the sauce warm on low.
  • Once pasta is done cooking, add it to the sauce. Reserve the pasta water and add some as needed to thin and emulsify the sauce to your preference. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat it. Taste for final seasoning.
  • Serve immediately, top with anything you like! Vegan parmesan, red pepper, are both good options! Enjoy!

Notes

*Spaghetti is my favorite for this dish, but you can really use just about any pasta shape you like, so go for it!
**Instead of tofu, you can also use cashews. Just cover 1/2 cup of cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes. Then drain and add them along with 1/2 cup of unsweetened plant milk to a high speed blender along with everything else when making the sauce.
