Description

A quick lunch I put together for folks with dairy issues. The coconut milk makes it creamy, and the mustard adds some zing.

Ingredients

Instructions

Put the pasta on to boil. Rotini or other dense pasta with lots of room for sauce is best.

Chop the broccoli stalks and start sauteing them in a little oil in a large saucepan. Chop the rest of the broccoli into medium size flowerettes and add to the pan. Saute briefly, then chop the fresh spinach (1 - 2 cups) and add it to the pan. Add the can of coconut milk, the dijon mustard, and the extra water and toss everything to coat. Reduce to simmer until heated through and the spinach is just wilted.

Drain the finished pasta and then toss in the vegetable and sauce mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

The person I was making this for had an onion sensitivity. I would probably either saute some onions in the pan first OR add a bunch of fresh chopped green onions at the end if I made this again. Cubed ham or bacon would go nicely with this, too.
