Spinach is so ridiculously good for you that I have been trying to find lots of easy ways to incorporate it into my daily diet. I really love the spinach balls rigatoni that you can get in Carluccios and wanted to make my own version of it without the calories (that version is a lot richer but pretty amazing) ! I used rigatoni pasta because it’s a lot bigger that normal pasta shells and that means I end up putting less in my bowl, I simply pan fried some courgettes and finely chopped (and pre-boiled in boiling water) spinach, I cooked it in a splash of olive oil and a table spoon of garlic before adding to the pasta (and one more splash of olive oil) and mixing it all together. It is that simple, I served it with a sprinkling of parmesan and it was sooooo good, I made way too much of it though so that’s lunch tomorrow sorted too!
I don’t have enough experience with cooking to do anything fancy so this was right up my street, simple to prepare but looks really impressive- the mixture of spinach and garlic was especially lovely- I’ll definitely be making this again!
This looks so yummy, I love spinach too! I’ll be trying this out! 🙂 x

I have been trying to incorporate Spinach in to more dishes – disguising it too as my husband isn’t too keen. But as you say, it’s so good for you. Your Spinach Pasta looks so good, I’m going to try making it
