Since St. Patrick’s Day is just about a week away, I thought I should share a green dish! No green eggs and ham – just some easy, cheesy noodles that get their green color from fresh spinach.

Ingredients

• one 12 ounce box gluten free penne
• 3 Tablespoons vegan buttery spread
• 3 cups Daiya mozzarella shreds
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 teaspoon pepper
• 3 handfuls fresh spinach

Instructions

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Melt the vegan buttery spread in a large pot. Add the Daiya cheese mozzarella shreds, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and non-dairy milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring often.
• Once the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, add the spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts.
• Remove the pan from the heat and blend the sauce using an immersion blender.
• Add the cooked and drained pasta to the cheesy sauce. Stir well to coat. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
