Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Dairy-free tortellini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the dairy-free tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the coconut cream and nutritional yeast, mixing well until the sauce becomes creamy.
Add the chopped basil, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Fold in the fresh spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt slightly.
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently mixing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded dairy-free mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the tortellini and sauce.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
