Background
Spinach and grilled pepper pasta is perfect for vegans or vegetarians. I made it with gluten-free brown rice penne, so it’s a rather healthy dish – ideal for diets or for the health conscious. It’s not only healthy & tasty but super easy to make and can be served warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 200g pasta of your choice
- 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
- 1 grilled/roasted red pepper (from jar- preserved in oil)
- 1 grilled garlic clove (optional)
- Zest and juice o ½ lemon
- 1 pinch of chilli flakes/cayenne or nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp pitted black olives
- 2 tbsp Grated vegan or parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instruction.
- Add the spinach to the last minute of cooking, then drain them and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the roasted pepper (reserving the oil too) and push out the garlic flesh of its skin, if used. Put these in a mixing bowl together with the chilli flakes, lemon zest & juice and the olives. Add the drained spinach pasta, and the oil from the red pepper. Combine well.
- Divide the pasta between two plates, season with pepper and scatter the grated cheese on top.
