Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz of your chosen pasta and cook until al dente, usually about 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water. Drain the remaining water and set the pasta aside in a colander.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent. Next, toss in 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 sliced bell pepper, stirring for another 3–4 minutes until the bell pepper softens and the garlic emits a fragrant aroma.
  3. Once the vegetables are sautéed, stir in 2 cups of baby spinach. Keep cooking for about 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts down and gives off a bright green color.
  4. Pour in 1 can of coconut milk and 1 cup of vegetable broth into the skillet, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, allowing it to cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. To infuse flavor into the sauce, mix in 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  6. Carefully toss the drained pasta into the skillet, blending it thoroughly with the creamy sauce. If the mixture appears too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you achieve your desired consistency.
  7. Taste your delicious creation and make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or even a sprinkle of nutritional yeast if you prefer a cheesier flavor.
  8. To serve, plate generous portions of the vegan marry me pasta in bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a vibrant touch that enhances presentation.
