I made this simple meal while on holiday with my family, using just a few ingredients I found in the fridge. It took minutes to put together and is the perfect fuss-free, one-pan dish for lazy summer evenings. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 tsp coconut oil

1 TBS mixed herbs

¼ tsp herb salt

pinch of chilli flakes/cayenne pepper

¼ tsp turmeric powder

2 cloves of garlic, crushed/grated

small punnet of button mushrooms, sliced

1-2 cups baby/rosa tomatoes, halved

2 TBS fresh thyme

1 or 2 large handfuls of baby spinach

Own choice of cooked pasta (I used gluten free chickpea pasta)

optional: nutritional yeast/vegan parmesan (to sprinkle on top)

Method:

Heat up coconut oil in a pan. Add garlic, mushrooms, mixed herbs, salt, chili flakes and turmeric. Saute for about 5min Add halved cherry tomatoes and fresh thyme and cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes become slightly tender (about 5-10min) Turn off heat and add fresh baby spinach. Stir lightly until spinach is slightly wilted. Stir into cooked pasta and serve.
