Cooking Instructions

1

Cook the Penne Noodles

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are soft.

3

Add Chickpeas and Spinach

Stir in the chickpeas and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

4

Prepare the Coconut Carbonara Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

5

Combine Ingredients

Pour the coconut carbonara sauce over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Add the cooked penne noodles and diced tomatoes. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

6

Serve

Divide the chickpea carbonara among serving plates, and top with plant-based nut parmesan. Serve warm.
