Ingredients

  • 6 oz whole grain pasta
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 clove fresh garlic, minced

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice, optional
  • 2-3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions, usually by boiling a pot full of water and then adding the pasta, turn down to a low boil for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large pan to medium-high, and cook the mushrooms in a bit of water, broth or olive oil. Add the garlic to cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the spinach and basil, to wilt, then turn off the heat. Add the olive oil, lime juice, nutritional yeast, and salt.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan, and toss to combine.

Notes

If you're making enough for leftovers to have for lunch the following day, try adding 1/2 cup of cooked chickpeas to the pasta when you pack it up.
