Vegan pasta bake made with a creamy cauliflower sauce, mushrooms, spinach, and a dairy-free cheesy topping. This healthy pasta bake is a hearty, nutritious, versatile, and delicious meat-free meal for the entire family!
In a pot, cook the cauliflower florets in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes) then discard the water.
In another pot, cook pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.
Once the cauliflower is fork-tender, process it in a blender or food processor, together with the vegetable broth, garlic, coconut milk, spices, and salt + pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Heat oil in a skillet and fry the mushrooms over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add spinach and fry for an additional minute. Turn off the heat.
Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl, add the cauliflower sauce, mushrooms & spinach, and stir to combine.
Pour everything into a greased baking dish (mine measures 13x9 inches / 33x23 cm).
