Here's how I made it:
1/2 lb. farfalle/bow-tie pasta - cooked per directions on box
1 cup spinach puree
1 spring onion - finely chopped with the green part
1 small garlic clove - finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded chedder cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp butter
Salt & pepper to taste
For the spinach puree, if using frozen spinach, thaw it then blend. If using fresh spinach, blanch it in salted boiling water for a minute, drain & refresh in cold water, drain & then blend till smooth.
Heat the butter, saute the spring onion & garlic for 2 - 3 mins. Add the spinach puree, milk, cheese, salt & pepper. Mix well. Simmer for a couple of mins, stirring continuously. Add the cooked pasta, toss together and serve.

I was so glad I tried this, my daughter loved it. I'll definitely be making it again. It was a bit bland for my dad's typical Indian palate though.

Lovely color and Pasta looks yummy
This seems almost like a spinach pesto sauce...love it! And the green makes it very pretty.
Thats such a lovely pasta..thanks for the entry!
nice healthy twist on simple pasta
Pasta looks lovely and inviting !
Regarding the pizza, it is quite simple and not any more difficult than kneading dough for roti. The only thing to watch out for is that the yeast rises before adding it to the flour mixture, the yeast should froth up, if it does not than discard that batch of yeast and start with a new one. Hope you try it out and like it as much as we did...do let me know :-)
Looks colorful n inviting!
