  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup soy milk gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Heat the sauce gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. Do not boil.
  5. Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach (optional) and continue to heat for another 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
  6. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
