Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams of pasta penne
  • 3-4 tbsp of olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 100 grams of frozen green peas
  • 80 ml of white wine
  • 200 ml oat cream
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 125 grams of fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp of lemon juice
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • Chopped walnuts for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions.

  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a tall cup and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan.
  • Stir in the vegan butter and lemon juice. Season with salt. 
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Adjust the consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  • Garnish with a few chopped walnuts and serve.
