We start with a delicious classic: vegan spinach cream sauce with penne. An easy and quick to make pasta dish. In this recipe I will introduce you to two ways how you can prepare the dish:

Homemade cream made from 4 ingredients
Plant-based cream substitute

No matter which variant you choose, I guarantee you: it tastes incredibly delicious!

Vegan cream

Plant-based cream is required for the recipe. You can make these yourself from just 4 ingredients quickly and easily (and it tastes delicious). Or you can use a plant-based cream alternative.

Homemade cream. For this you need cashew nuts, water or vegetable milk, yeast flakes and vegetable stock powder or salt and pepper. First soak the cashew nuts in hot water. Then puree with the remaining ingredients in a blender until creamy. Add enough liquid until the sauce is creamy.

Vegetable cream. I prefer to use a soy cuisine here. You can get them in well-stocked supermarkets and drugstores. Alternatively, there is even oat or rice cuisine.

Vegan creamed spinach pasta – the details

The recipe is easy and quick to make:

Fry the onion and garlic in a pan in a little oil. Add the baby spinach and steam until the spinach collapses. Then add the vegan cream and season well.

In the meantime, cook penne or a pasta of your choice al dente and finally add it to the spinach cream sauce and mix well.

Note on alternatives: The recipe can also be cooked with frozen spinach, in which case thaw the spinach and squeeze out all the liquid.
