Ingredients
- 12 ounces pasta
- 2 Tbsp dairy-free butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cup dairy-free milk
- 2/3 cup sun dried tomatoes
- 1.5 cup packed spinach (optional)
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 tsp salt

Preparation
Cook pasta according to package, drain and set aside
Heat a medium pot or dutch oven on low heat and add the butter
Once melted add the flour and whisk until it becomes a clumpy paste
Slowly add the milk and whisk until all of the clumps have been smoothed out
Increase the heat to medium low for 3-4 minutes, whisking the entire time
You do not want it to turn into a rolling boil, this sauce can easily burn
Add the salt, pepper, tomato sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and mix
In a large bowl add the cooked pasta, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach (optional), and sauce
The warm pasta and sauce will cook the spinach enough without it wilting
Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, eat, and enjoy
