Ingredients

10 oz pasta of choice (gluten-free if needed)

1 tbsp olive oil

8 oz baby spinach

2 large avocados

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Juice of ½ lemon

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

¾ cup reserved pasta water

2 garlic cloves

Directions: 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve ¾ cup of the pasta water.

  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
