Silky tomato basil sauce meets tender pasta and a handful of fresh spinach in one pot. Blend tomatoes with onion garlic and tomato paste for a velvety base, stir in soy cream and parmesan vegan or regular, then toss with hot pasta until glossy. Minimal cleanup, big weeknight flavor, and done in about 30 minutes.
Tips: save some pasta water for extra silkiness, peel tomato skins for an ultra smooth sauce, fold in basil at the end to keep it vibrant.

    Instructions
    Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).
    Prepare Baking Dish: Lay the spinach leaves at the bottom of a baking dish. Scatter cherry tomatoes on top. Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves and place it in the dish. Add dollops of cream cheese around the tomatoes and garlic.

  2. NOT A GOOD IDEA: using blender in a lowered pan, splattered everywhere 😅. Must've been quite a clean afterwards 😉
