One-Pot Cheesy Tahini Penne
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz pasta of choice (I used chickpea penne)
- 1/2 cup of the pasta water (see instructions below)
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1.5 tbsp creamy tahini (or more if you want it to be even creamier)
- 1/2 small lemon, the juice
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp umami vegetable seasoning sauce (I used @yondu.usa, you can also use white miso, veggie broth paste (like better than bouillon) or an extra pinch of sea salt)
- Sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Preparation
Cook the pasta in lightly salted water until it’s al dente, then drain but keep 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Lower heat to medium and return the pasta to the pot. Mix in the other ingredients and 1/4 cup of pasta water. Mix well and cook for 1 more minute (add the remaining water if needed).
Serve and enjoy!
