Ingredients
- 8 ounces farfalle pasta or any pasta of choice
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 10 ounces button mushrooms sliced
- 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
- 6 ounces spinach coarsely chopped
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon flour i used gluten-free but any other flour works
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
Instructions
- Cook the 8 ounces farfalle pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Sauté the 10 ounces button mushrooms and 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with kosher salt and ground pepper.
- Add in the 6 ounces spinach and 3-4 garlic cloves and continue to sauté until wilted.
- In a small bowl whisk the 1 cup almond milk and 1 tablespoon flour until no visible lumps.
- Pour the milk mixture over the sautéed veggies and stir to combine. The sauce should begin to thicken almost immediately.
- While the pan is still on the heat, stir in the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup minced parsley.

Notes
- Use any pasta of choice, especially if you are looking to cut down on the carbs. Consider using lentil or chickpea pasta.
- Spinach can be fresh or frozen.
- I recommend using fresh mushrooms instead of canned mushrooms.
- milk: any milk of your choice can be used in this recipe.
- note: to reduce the fat content, I did not add any cheese, but you may add in 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese or cream cheese. Mix it in with the sauteed spinach.
