Roasted Red Pepper Penne

You will need:

• 16 oz penne, cooked
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 cup crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh spinach, tightly packed
• 4 fire roasted red peppers (I used this kind)
• 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
• 3 tablespoons cup nutritional yeast
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons almond milk
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper

Directions:

1. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add the vegan butter.
2. Reduce heat to medium low and sauté the mushrooms for about 2 minutes.
3. Turn off heat and add spinach. Toss with mushrooms until slightly wilted.
4. Add remaining ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until pureed.
5. Pour roasted red pepper sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Add mushrooms and spinach.
6. Serve immediately.
