Spinach Pesto Pasta
A colourful pasta recipe. There is a lot of fresh spinach in the local market so I wanted to take the opportunity. Add a few leaves of fresh basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and olive oil and you are almost ready. Enjoy !
The recipe
Prepare the pesto. Simmer the spinach for about 5 minutes, then drain and let it cool. Blend the pesto ingredients at medium low speed.
Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package then put it into a large bowl with the pesto, and mix gently till all pasta is covered with pesto.
Transfer the pasta on the serving plates, sprinkle over the grated parmesan and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
