Cheesy Spinach Pasta Patties
(mouthwateringvegan.com)
I wanted to create something original, unique, tasty, filling,
and simple. I also fancied serving pasta in an unconventional way –
something that would also hit the spot for summer, as we’re
sweltering in the August heat here. These ‘cheesy’ patties
were the result, and I have to say, they really worked. They’re
light, incredibly moreish, and satisfying. I would serve with
a red salad – cherry tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, rocket (arugula),
and so forth. Makes around 6 patties Ingredients:
250g (9 oz) spaghetti (boil, rinse in cold water, and set
aside) 2 cups cooked spinach (I use the frozen variety, but thaw
it first) Himalayan salt to taste (available here in the US, or
here in the UK) 1 cup my mature cheddar cheese, cut into slices
(or other of your choice) 2 cups my mozzarella cheese (or other
vegan cheese of your choice) olive oil for frying
Thickening Ingredients: 300g (10½ oz) firm silken tofu (I
use organic Mori-Nu – available here in the US, or here in the UK)
1 cup grated vegan cheese Himalayan salt to taste (available here
in the US, or here in the UK) 1 clove garlic 1/8th cup (30 mL)
soya milk, or other non-dairy milk (Alpro is my preferred choice)
3 Tbsp plain flour (leave some extra flour for dipping the burgers
in when shaping) Preparation - Place the thickening
ingredients in your food processor, starting off the with the
garlic. - Then add the rest, and blend until you are left with a
thick cream. - Add the cooked spinach, and pulse for a few
seconds – then spoon this all into a bowl. - Meanwhile, place the
cooked spaghetti in a large bowl, and add in the thickening
ingredients. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients well, making
sure the mixture is blended into the pasta, then add the remaining
ingredients. - Divide the mixture into separate portions – there
should be enough to make 6 patties. - Finally, spread some plain
flour on a plate, and coat each pattie in flour, before frying in a
little olive oil, and serving.
Voila, serve and enjoy!
