Method

  1. Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden, but be careful as they burn easily. Set aside for later.
  2. Fry the garlic in a little olive oil, add the LikeMeat Like Chicken and fry for about 5 minutes at medium heat. Add the white wine and let half of it reduce.
  3. Add the spinach, basil and plant-based cream. Stir so that the creamy mix covers the spinach. Add the al dente cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve topped with grated plant-based parmesan cheese and the toasted pine nuts.
