Healthy 1 Pot Plant-Based Spinach Alfredo Pasta

Vegan Alfredo you say?! Yes, please! This easy 1 pot dinner has all of the creamy goodness without the dairy. This meal is such a simple (and healthy!) option to throw together any night of the week when you are on a time crunch. All you need is 15 minutes to prep & cook, and ta-da it’s ready to enjoy! I highly recommend using The Kite Hill cream cheese for this dish. It is by far the best alternative and gives the perfect consistency.
