Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 cup Arugula
  • 5 ounces Spinach/Green Spaghetti
  • 5 ounces Zucchini Noodles
  • Fresh Dill
  • Fresh Mint
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Vegan Yogurt + 1 tbsp
  • ½ tablespoon Salt
  • 2 ounces Vegan Feta optional
  • Flaky Salt optional
  • Lemon Olive Oil optional

Instructions

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 2 cups of spinach and 1 cup of arugula to the boiling water. Blanch these greens in the water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then immediately drain. 
  • Add the blanched spinach and arugula to a food processor (or a blender) with a pinch of salt. Pulse this mixture. 
  • Next, add 4-5 large mint leaves and 1 sprig/stem of dill, removing the large dill stem. Also add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of vegan yogurt, as well as another pinch of salt if needed.
  • Blend this until it is fully combined and resembles a cohesive sauce. 
  • In another pot, bring water to a boil and cook your 5 ounces of green (or regular) spaghetti.
  • Once cooked, drain and add this to a large bowl with 5 ounces of zucchini noodles.
  • Toss these together in the bowl to allow the heat from the pasta to gently warm the zucchini noodles. 
  • Mix in the spinach-arugula sauce until each noodle is coated. 
  • Mix in ½ cup of vegan yogurt, ½ tablespoon of salt, ½ tablespoon minced fresh dill, and ½ tablespoon chopped fresh mint. 
  • Add the contents of the bowl to your serving dish or dishes of choice.
  • Top the dish with more fresh mint and dill, flaky salt, and a drizzle of lemon extra virgin olive oil. 

Notes

  • If you don't have spinach spaghetti, regular, whole wheat, or any other kind of spaghetti will work perfectly fine! Just follow box instructions for cooking. 
  • In place of zucchini noodles, any spiraled vegetable will work. Or, alternatively, you could omit the zucchini and just add more pasta. Be aware that doing this will cause the dish to lose a bit of its freshness and crunch. 
  • In place of vegan yogurt, using a vegan mayonnaise or cashew cream would work well.
