Spaghetti with vegan spinach sauce is on the agenda today. This simple recipe is just the thing for hectic days when you need something on the table quickly. It’s like that almost every day, but I usually have some pre-cooked food in the fridge and can heat it up quickly. If it is once not so, then this recipe comes on the scene. One pot, one blender and off you go. We have discovered a new organic farm and are completely thrilled. Every Friday the small farm store is open and you can get fresh fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals. The difference with the goods from the supermarket and also from the eco-box is that the goods are much fresher. It comes straight from the field to the store, so to speak, and you can tell. Of course, much is also supplied, but that is also much fresher compared to what I know from the supermarkets. The crispy fresh spinach practically seduced me into this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Spaghetti with vegan spinach sauce
As advertised, this recipe is super easy and is on the table in under 20 minutes. Heat water, cook spaghetti (or other pasta of choice) and meanwhile prepare the sauce. The only thing that may not be as fun is washing the spinach. I now do this right after I’ve shopped. Before I even put the vegetables in the fridge, everything is thoroughly washed and boxed or goes directly into the vegetable drawers. This saves time, especially when cooking has to be done quickly.
Spinach, basil, coconut milk, yeast flakes, cornstarch, garlic granules (or fresh garlic), onion powder, salt pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Put everything in the blender and blend on high speed until fine. Then add to the pasta, stir once and you’re done. I like to add a little Cashew Parmesan over it and decorate the dish with fresh basil leaves.
TIP: Instead of spinach, fresh wild garlic is also suitable as a substitute. Defrost frozen spinach beforehand. However, I prefer to recommend the dish with fresh spinach.
How healthy is actually spinach?
Spinach is very low in calories and consists of 91 percent water. Nevertheless, it is rich in vitamins and minerals:
- Provitamin A (converted to vitamin A in the body)
- Vitamin C (supports immune system and healthy skin)
- Vitamin K1 (important for blood clotting, already one leaf of spinach covers half of the daily requirement)
- Folic acid (also folate or B9 supports optimal cell function and tissue growth. Especially important for women who want to have children, pregnant women and during breastfeeding).
- Calcium (important for healthy bones, heart, muscles and nervous system)
- Iron (important for the transport of oxygen to the cells and the formation of red blood cells) Click here for a detailed article on iron.
But that’s not all, because in addition to the above, there are numerous secondary plant compounds:
- Lutein (may reduce the risk of age-related eye diseases).
- Querecetin (anti-inflammatory and immunostrengthening)
- Nitrate (may promote heart health)
- Zeaxanthin (may reduce risk of age-related diseases)
- Kämpferol (may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease).
- Rich in antioxidants(a study confirms that daily consumption of spinach protects against oxidative damage).
