Something you might not realize about me is that i'm a massive hockey fan – severely, ask me any type of vain hockey trivialities and i will in all likelihood know the solution with out even having to stop and think.

Come playoff season, you can find me with eyes glued to the tv and faraway in hand, in particular if my group has a threat to win.

I’m fortunate enough to have my two favored teams in the playoffs this yr (Dallas Stars and Washington Capitals), which makes for one very satisfied Katie.

INGREDIENTS:

8 oz dry pasta - such as farfalle
1-2 tbsp olive oil or buttery spread or oil spray
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp flour (spelt, white, or sweet rice flour)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 cup cashew cream or unsweetened creamer – I like Nutpods Dairy Free Creamer
1/4 cup Parmesan-type topping or nutritional yeast, optional
1 cup unsweetened milk of choice or additional creamer
1 can diced tomatoes, or 14 oz diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh or 1/2 cup frozen spinach, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

Bring a salted pot of water to a boil. Boil pasta in line with package deal guidelines, then drain fully however do now not rinse. meanwhile, sauté the garlic in the oil for 1 minute. (Technically, you may use oil spray, however the oil will provide a richer flavor and could assist the sauce adhere to the pasta – It amounts to much less than a teaspoon consistent with serving, and i genuinely think the flavor can be lots better if you use oil rather than spray.) add the flour, onion powder, and salt. Sauté an additional minute, then whisk within the creamer, milk, oregano, and Parmesan, if using. bring to a boil, whisking continuously. Boil and whisk for about a minute, then add the tomato and spinach – you may pass over the spinach if desired. Stir until sauce thickens. upload the pasta and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper if preferred. If the pasta absorbs the sauce and appears dry, stir in a bit more milk of choice until sauce is creamy again.
