Recipe of the Day: Quick Mushroom, Tomato and Spinach Pasta :-)

 

I made this simple meal while on holiday with my family, using just a few ingredients I found in the fridge. It took minutes to put together and is the perfect fuss-free, one-pan dish for lazy summer evenings. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 TBS mixed herbs
  • ¼ tsp herb salt
  • pinch of chilli flakes/cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed/grated
  • small punnet of button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1-2 cups baby/rosa tomatoes, halved
  • 2 TBS fresh thyme
  • 1 or 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
  • Own choice of cooked pasta (I used gluten free chickpea pasta)
  • optional: nutritional yeast/vegan parmesan (to sprinkle on top)

 

 

Method:

  1. Heat up coconut oil in a pan. Add garlic, mushrooms, mixed herbs, salt, chili flakes and turmeric. Saute for about 5min
  2. Add halved cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme and cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes become slightly tender (about 5-10min)
  3. Turn off heat and add fresh baby spinach. Stir lightly until spinach is slightly wilted.
  4. Stir into cooked pasta and serve.
