Ingredients.

​5 tbsp Māla Girl Soulfull Classic
¼ tsp red chili
1 tsp Māla Girl Sparkle Salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ large red onion finely chopped

Dairy-free parmesan cheese shreds for serving optional

3. Add Sparkle Salt, all-purpose flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and stir to incorporate. Add Soulfull Classic broth powder, and 4 cups water. Stir, cover, and bring to gentle simmer. Let gently simmer, covered, 10 to 12 min until potatoes are just tender. If getting too thick, add remaining ½ cup of water. While potatoes cook, crumble the plant-based sausages into a separate skillet with a touch of oil, and cook 4 to 5 min, stirring occasionally, until starting to lightly brown.


4. Once potatoes are tender, add heavy cream and spinach. Stir and cook a minute until spinach wilts, then add cooked ditalini and sausage. Stir and serve with optional red chili flakes and parmesan shreds, if using.
