  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
  • olive oil

  • 1 8 ounce package Banza Penne Pasta (may substitute for penne of choice)
  • 3 large shallots, diced
  • 3 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 ounces spinach
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt/pepper to taste. Place the cut side up on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. When done, set aside.
  2. While tomatoes are baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for half of the recommended cooking time on package instructions. Reserve 2 cups of pasta water, then drain the remaining water, cover and set aside.
  3. While pasta and tomatoes cook, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add thediced shallots and cook until soft, around 5 minutes. Add in garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch salt/pepper and saute for one more minute.
  4. Add the partially cooked pasta to the skillet along with 1 cup of pasta water, spinach, and roasted tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the water has evaporated. Add additional pasta water as needed, until pasta is cooked to your liking.
  5. Stir in nutritional yeast and season to your liking. Serve immediately.
