Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add minced garlic and sliced bell pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Spinach: Stir in baby spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to create a rich sauce.
  5. Season Sauce: Mix in nutritional yeast and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss drained pasta into the skillet, mixing thoroughly with the sauce. Add reserved pasta water if needed for consistency.
  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or nutritional yeast if desired.
  8. Serve: Plate portions of Vegan Marry Me Pasta and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
