Spaghetti Aglio, Olio & Spinach

Two thoughts might be running through your head, 1) that is a crazy amount of garlic, and 2) where are the rest of the ingredients? In this recipe, we want to pay tribute to the simple ingredients that make our food taste great and prove that you don’t need anything fancy to make a delicious pasta sauce. There is so much flavour in things we’ve got used to just throwing in without any thought, we want you to slow down and appreciate every ingredient you use. If you’re new making it from scratch, this should show how easy it can be to make, even with little in the fridge. Try it once and you’ll never look back (or get the garlic smell off your hands.)

This recipe was whipped up for us by Taj (aka @myveganminimalist) who you can blame if you’re now addicted to pasta. We’re guilty, but not sorry.
