Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta fusilli or penne
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup shelled edamame cooked
  • 2 tbsp shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until tender, then drain and allow it to cool until no longer steaming
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and slightly glossy
  3. Add the cooled pasta to the bowl and toss gently so each piece is lightly coated with the dressing
  4. Fold in chopped spinach, letting it soften slightly as it mixes with the warm pasta
  5. Add cherry tomatoes, edamame, shredded cheese, and red onion, stirring gently to combine
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, ensuring a balanced tangy and herbaceous flavor
  7. Chill for 10–15 minutes or serve immediately for a fresher texture
