  • 2 tbsp Mustard
  • 1 tbsp minced Ginger

Directions:
  1. Bring large pot of Water to boil

  4. Meanwhile, mix together reserved Pasta Water, Nutritional Yeast, Lemon Juice, Braggs, Mustard & Ginger - set aside
  5. Drain cooking water, mix together Pasta & Sauce

My2Cents: Experiment with different Greens: Bok Choy, Chard, Collards, Kale, Spinach etc.  The Lemon Juice will add brightness to the Greens, making them pop!  By adding the Onions to the cooking water, you save a step and a pan by not sauteing them, they will come out perfectly softened.
