Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams Fettuccine
  • 1 small Zucchini Spiralized
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons chilli flakes
  • 1 bunch Basil de-stemmed
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegan parmesan cheese to serve

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, combine lots of water and salt and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, throw fettuccine in and let cook till al dente. Once cooked, drain pasta and reserve about 1 cup of its cooking water aside.
  • In a large frying pan or skillet, combine olive oil and garlic together before turning the heat on (this is to prevent the garlic from burning). Turn heat on and let garlic cook gently for about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and chilli flakes into the pan and cook till mushrooms have softened.
  • Add pasta and about 1/2 cup of its cooking water to the skillet and toss in the olive oil/mushroom mixture. Once pasta has heated through, add your spiralized zucchini in. Toss to heat through, and add a little more reserved cooking water if too dry. Season liberally with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Turn heat off and add basil, baby spinach and 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil in. Toss to coat in sauce and dish out to serve.

Notes

TO STORE: Put the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
TO FREEZE: Cooked pasta can be frozen for 2-3 months when kept in an air-sealed container.
TO REHEAT: Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a skillet.
