If you are ever craving a hearty but healthy pasta dish look no further! This is one of my favorite vegan pasta recipes, I make it al the time for lunches and dinners.

1 - 1.5 cups Pasta of choice (I like chickpea with this one)
1 tsp oil (coconut oil is really good, but does make this dish have a sweetness to it. If you don’t like that then avocado or olive oil are great choices)
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 tsp of red pepper flakes
2 tbsp of tomato paste
3/4 cup plant milk (oat is my favorite for pastas)
2tbsp nutritional yeast
2-4 tbsp vodka (optional)
Big handful of spinach
Some grated cheese for the top (I used regular since I didn’t have vegan cheese)

Start your pasta. In another pan sauté the garlic and shallot in oil. After a couple of minutes add in the tomato paste and cook for about 2 minutes. Then add plant based milk, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes, and vodka (optional). Mix and simmer for about 4 minutes, or u til vodka burns off. Then add in spinach and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Then add pasta and mix together. I like this dish served with some cheese on top as a garnish.
