Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 450 g penne pasta
  • 4 tbsp non-dairy butter
  • 1 onion chopped finely
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 450 g fresh spinach
  • 1.5 tbsp cornflour
  • 350 ml vegan cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 tbsp vegan Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F / gas mark 3.
  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil and season with a little salt and 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
  • Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until just tender.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan and add the diced onion with a pinch of salt.
  • Cook over a medium high heat for 8 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic, and cook about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add spinach.
  • Cover and cook 5 minutes or until spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour the spinach and onions over the pasta and stir.
  • Mix the cornflour with just a few tbsp of the cream and stir until you have a smooth slurry. Add this to the now empty pan along with the rest of the cream, salt and pepper and half of the vegan parmesan.
  • Stir until the cream has thickens slightly and the vegan parmesan has melted.
  • Pour the sauce over the pasta then transfer into an oven dish.
  • Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
