¼ tbsp Olive oil
¼ medium Onion
¾ cloves, minced Garlic
½ cup Vegetable broth
¼ cup Coconut milk
2 oz Spaghetti
¾ cup Spinach
¼ lemon yields Lemon juice
¼ tsp Lemon zest- 🥄¼ dash Salt
¼ dash Black pepper- 🥄¼ tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 2
Add the uncooked spaghetti, vegetable broth, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil, then maintain a lively simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and pushing the pasta into the liquid as it softens.
- 3
Cook until the spaghetti is al dente, about 10–12 minutes, adding more broth or a splash of water if the pot looks dry or simmering a bit longer to thicken if needed.
- 4
Stir in the spinach and lemon zest until the spinach wilts, 1–2 minutes. Season to taste with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
