- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 serving (3oz) spaghetti1/2 cup chopped walnuts1 cup medium heat salsa3 tbsp good quality extra virgin olive oil4 tbsp nutritional yeast (gives it a creaminess)3 tbsp ketchup1 tsp garlic powder, or to taste1 tsp dried basil (fresh would be lovely!)1/2 tsp black pepper1 tsp kosher salt, or to tastePinch red pepper flakes1/2 cup chopped red pepper (optional)1 cup spinach1 cup cooked lentils
1.Cook 1 serving of pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, grab a small pot and turn heat to medium. Add chopped walnuts to dry pot and lightly toast for a few minutes, being careful not to burn.
2. After toasting the walnuts, add in the rest of the ingredients (except for the spinach), to taste. Be careful as the walnuts will sizzle and may splatter when you add in the salsa. Stir well and heat on medium-low for another 7-8 minutes.
3. Place spinach in a colander and rinse. When pasta is cooked, remove from heat and pour onto the colander (with the spinach in it) and rinse lightly. Drain and then add the spinach and pasta into the pot. Now pour the sauce into the pasta and spinach and stir well. Season to taste and adjust flavours if necessary. Makes 1 large serving or 2 small servings.
