Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Penne Pasta (I used  GoGo Quinoa)
  • 3 cups Spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 3 tablespoon Avocado Oil / Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 3 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan / Sea Salt
  • Dash of Turmeric Powder
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Fill a saucepan with filtered water and bring to a boil. Cook your pasta according to package intructions.
  • You will want to cook the pasta al dente since it will be heated again. Once the pasta is cooked, strain and rinse.
  • Pour the strained and rinsed pasta back into the pot. Stir 3 tablespoon avocado oil right away to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  • Next, pour in 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, followed by 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, a dash of turmeric and pepper to taste. Mix well before adding in the spinach and peas.
  • Once that's all mixed together, add 1 cup peas and 3 cups spinach. Mix well.
  • Place back on the stove and heat over medium-low. Continue to stir, making sure all the ingredients are mixed well. Once the spinach begins to wilt, remove the pasta from the heat and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra flavourful pasta, you can use substitute Chive Blossom Vinegar for the apple cider vinegar.
This pasta makes a great side dish for a BBQ and is great for springtime as it has a slightly tangy taste!
