VEGAN ONE POT PASTA WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

I definitely got a thing for vegan one pot pasta or one pot meals in general! This vegan one pot pasta with spinach and tomatoes is super easy to make, incredibly healthy, packed with flavor, and SO delicious!! It’s one of my favorite meals for busy weeknights.

This vegan one pot pasta is actually a spin-off of my Asian style vegan one pot pasta, which became super popular on Pinterest. In just a couple of months, it became one of the most popular recipes on the blog. No wonder, it’ soooo yummy! The secret ingredients to make it so creamy and flavorful are coconut milk and red curry paste. You actually don’t have to add any water. This recipe just calls for diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and red curry paste. This might seem a bit weird at first, but I can promise you it really works and it’s so delicious! I had so many people trying it and I got lots of lovely comments from you guys.
