Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until starting to soften, then add garlic and continue to sauté another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the stock/broth, dry pasta, salt, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a strong simmer, then turn heat down to medium-low. Keep covered and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  4. When pasta is almost cooked, uncover the pot and add the sauce. Stir to coat noodles, then stir in spinach. Cover pot again for a few minutes to let the spinach wilt, noodles finish cooking, and sauce warm through. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add another splash of broth to get desired consistency.
  5. Serve pasta topped with fresh basil, and enjoy!
