Pantry pasta

Ingredients:
500g Pasta of choice.
(I've used Wholemeal Penne this time, but Spaghetti, Spirals or any pasta works well)
¼ cup Olive oil
2-3 tsp Italian Herbs 
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tbs Balsamic or White Wine Vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tsp Chilli Flakes
1-2 tbs Nutritional Yeast 
Salt and Pepper to taste

Optional:
4-6 Anchovy Fillets, broken up 
Lemon zest

Parmesan to serve

Method:
Boil your pasta water in a big pot. Salt it well...it will be a key ingredient in your sauce!

Assemble your other ingredients in a large serving bowl, giving them a quick stir to combine, while pasta is cooking. 

When pasta is al dente, reserve a cup of the pasta water, then drain pasta and add to serving bowl. Add a splash of cooking water. With 2 forks, tumble the pasta and sauce together so the pasta is well coated. Add more olive oil and cooking water if necessary.

Top with a generous grind of pepper, and parmesan if you wish.
