VEGAN SPINACH NOODLE KUGEL

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package instructions, but stop the cooking process when the noodles are ALMOST there--until they're lightly chewy. They'll finish cooking in the oven.
• While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. Throw the ingredients into the blends and blend it until smooth. Now is a good time to taste it and make any necessary changes.
• Next, take your thawed frozen spinach or your cooked fresh spinach and squeeze as much liquid out as possible.
• After the pasta is cooked, drain the water from it and return it to the pot. Pour the contents of the blender into the pasta and mix it well.
• Using your fingers or two forks, separate the wads of spinach into little pieces and gently stir them through the pasta.
• Add the whole mixture to a deep square or rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs if you like.
• Bake the kugel for 15-20 minutes at 400 F (205 C) until the sauce has set and the noodles have finished cooking. The top may get a little brown. If you'd like it more brown, you can broil it if you have a broiler. (I sadly do not.)
• Serve it up and enjoy!
• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
