• 2-3 cloves chopped garlic
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
• 1 cup mozzarella shreds

Instructions

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the millet pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Gradually pour in the unsweetened oat or almond milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

6. Add the cooked millet pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
