This is a really easy one-pot dinner which just happens to be vegan.聽

Serves 3 or 4聽

Takes 15 minutes聽

Ingredients

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 400g dried spaghetti

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes cut into halves

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 100ml olive oil

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 100ml boiling water

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 2tsp of rock salt or 1 陆 tsps of table salt

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Around 250g spinach or any other leafy green veg

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Zest of two lemons

路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Black pepper聽

Method

Put all the ingredients except the lemon zest and spinach in a large pot. Boil for 6 minutes turning the pasta every now and again with tongs. Add the spinach and lemon zest and cook for a further 2 minutes. The tomatoes should have broken down & the liquid should have thickened into a creamy consistency. The spaghetti should be nice and al dente. Cook for a few minutes more before adding the spinach if you prefer your pasta softer. Serve in bowls with some freshly ground black pepper.
