One-Pot Cheesy Tahini Penne
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz pasta of choice (I used chickpea penne)
- 1/2 cup of the pasta water
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1.5 tbsp creamy tahini (or more if you want it to be even creamier)
- 1/2 small lemon, 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 or an extra pinch of sea salt)
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Preparation
Cook the pasta in lightly salted water until al dente (about 7 minutes for chickpea pasta), then drain but reserve 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, adding the remaining water if needed depending on the tahini and preference.
Serve and enjoy.
