Farfalle Pasta in Sticky Orange Sauce
We absolutely LOVE quick and easy dinners that feel like a real treat. In this pasta dish, the zesty flavors from Uncle Matt’s Ultimate Defense and its ability to coat the ingredients with a beautiful shiny and sticky texture make it just perfect. Dill takes the flavor to another level while spinach adds color, texture and even more nutrients.
Ingredients:
- 10 oz farfalle pasta
- 5 cups organic fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup dill, finely chopped
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 cup + 8 tbsp Ultimate Defense juice
- 3 cloves organic garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili sauce
- 1/3 cup organic rice vinegar
- 8 tbsp organic maple syrup
- 2 tbsp organic toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Cook farfalle pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
2. Combine the corn starch and the 8 tbsp Ultimate Defense in a medium bowl. Mix well until all is dissolved and smooth.
3. In a small sauce pan, add the rest of the ingredients and warm on medium-high heat whisking frequently until you reach a gentle boil (about 3 minutes).
4. Then, add the corn starch mixture to the pot and whisk well for about 30-60 seconds at medium-high heat, until the sauce thickens.
5. Add finely chopped dill, spinach and cooked pasta to the sauce, mix well, and cook for 1 more minute mixing regularly until the spinach has wilted and the sauce covers all the pasta.
