Instructions
- 01
Prep: Add the uncooked pasta to a large pot (or pan with deep sides). Add the remaining ingredients – except for the spinach – and mix well. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
- 02
Cook: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium low and cook the pasta for 10 to 14 minutes, until al-dente. Stir the mixture every 2 minutes to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan. (Note: cooking times will vary based on the type of pasta used. I suggest you start to check for doneness based on the minimum cook time on the package instructions)
- 03
Serve: Turn the heat off and fold the spinach into the pasta. Once the spinach has wilted, divide the pasta into serving bowls and top as desired. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Variations & swaps
Substitutions and Variations
- Gluten-Free Option: You can make this with your favorite gluten-free pasta. I found that brown rice pasta worked the best!
- Creamy One Pot Pasta: The starch from the pasta will naturally make the sauce creamy, but if you want a creamier dish, stir in 1/4 cup of vegan parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, or cashew cream at the end.
- Water Substitute: Swap the water for an equal amount of vegetable broth or imitation “chicken” broth for more flavor.
- Add Plant Protein: Add 1 or 2 diced Italian vegan sausages or a can of drained and rinsed white beans to give the pasta a protein boost.
- More Vegetable Ideas: You can change up the veggies as much as you’d like. Green peas, diced bell peppers, shredded carrots, and broccoli florets are all welcome here!
- For a Flavor Boost: Got a few extra minutes? Try sautéing the onion in the oiled pot until translucent, then add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and chili flakes. Sauté for another minute, then continue with the recipe from step 1. This seasoned oil will add a little more flavor to the pasta!
