Tomato, Spinach, and Garlic Pasta
A quick #quarantine meal! I don't think plant-based pastas get the applause they deserve because I genuinely have no idea how people are making chickpeas and lentils into spaghetti but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth so. I used a whole bag of baby spinach for this so seriously go to town because that shit shrinks when cooked. I was the kid that waited minutes before saying "when" obnoxiously to the waiter shredding parmesan cheese on my pasta so I dumped a ton of nutritional yeast while I was still mixing it all in the pot instead and it honestly made a big difference.
