Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 spaghetti packet
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion thinly chopped, large

For the Pesto:

  • 1 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cup basil fresh
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper fresh cracked
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • lemon juice of half a large lemon

Additions:

  • 3 spinach fresh, heaped cups
  • 1 asparagus large bunch, remove tough ends

Instructions

  1. To a large pot add water and bring to a boil. Add your spaghetti and cook as instructed. NOTE: 5 minutes before your pasta is ready add your asparagus. Don't over cook it, you still want that gorgeous crunch.
  2. In the mean time prepare your onions by adding olive oil to a medium sized pan. Let the oil heat up for 30 seconds, then add your thinly chopped onion. Sweat this down for around 5 minutes, make sure you stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  3. Into a food processor add your pesto ingredients and blend for around 45 seconds to a minute.
  4. Transfer this mixture to your onions and continue to cook on low heat for another 5-10 minutes. Keep stirring.
  5. Strain your pasta but keep 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  6. Add your pasta and cooking liquid to the pan with the onions and pesto.
  7. ** at this point your mouth is salivating because it smells so damn good **
  8. Add your spinach and stir till wilted and gorgeous.
  9. Serve immediately and garnish with a squeeze of lemon and pepper.
  10. Enjoy!
