This recipe looks great! What could be better than a nice pasta dish with a creamy white-sauce? A vegan pasta dish with a creamy white-sauce!

Here's what Rebecca, from Yummy Plants has to say about it: “This vegan spinach florentine recipe is one of my favorites. The sauce is so rich and creamy, it’s hard to believe it is a dairy-free cream sauce! Once you learn how to make a vegan cream sauce, you can use it as a base for other dishes. ” We can't wait to try it - what about you?!



Dairy-free Spinach Florentine

Ingredients

12 ounces of pasta (I love the ALB-GOLD brand spelt pasta)
1 1/2 Tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of minced garlic
8 cups of fresh spinach (or 10 ounces of frozen and thawed)
1 cup of So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk (green container)
1/4 cup and 2 Tablespoons of nutritional yeast
3 Tablespoons fresh basil
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley
1 Tablespoon fresh oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Preparation

1. Boil the water and let the pasta cook while you are preparing the sauce.

2. Add the olive oil to a large skillet, add the garlic, and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

3. Add the rinsed and drained spinach, and cook for another 3 minutes. Note: spinach wilts quickly. Your skillet may not be large enough to hold all 8 cups. That's fine. Put what you can in the skillet and add more as space allows.

4. Add the coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until well combined.

5. By the time the sauce is done, the pasta should be ready. Serve over pasta and enjoy!
