Ingredients

  • 300 gr Pasta Penne
  • 100 ml Almond Milk
  • 1 Avocado
  • 70 gr Baby Spinach
  • 1 handfull Mixed Nuts (Almonds, Cashews, Walnuts)
  • 15 Cherries
  • 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Tahini Sauce
  • Lemon Juice ½ Lemon
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 5 Leaves of Basil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • In a blender combine avocado, nuts, basil, garlic (better to grate it first), nutritional yeast, tahini sauce, lemon juice, almond milk, salt and pepper.
  • Blend until very smooth, then set aside.
  • Cook your favourite pasta shape accorting to its cooking time.
  • In the meantime roughly chop the spinach as shown in the following picture.
  • Cut the cherries in half and remove the stones.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and pour it back in the saucepan and mix it with both the avocado sauce and the raw spinach.
  • Pour the pasta in a serving dish and top with the cherries halves, a sprinkle of mixed seeds, some freshly grated pepper and, if you fancy, some more nutritional yeast.

Notes

This recipe is perfect even chilled, up to two days after making it. Note: I have not used any oil or fat because both the avocado and the nuts naturally contain oils.
