Spinach Pasta
.
Pasta is kids' fav food. Offering regular routine pasta makes a kid feel bored. Earlier I tried and succeeded with ’ pesto pasta ’ it's a hit recipe. This time I tried ’ spinach pasta ’ which is completely healthy and easy.
Here I have used organic whole wheat pasta.
.
Ingredients:
.
Spinach - 2 cups
Pasta - 1/2 cup
Garlic - 2
Salt
Cheese
Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Butter/olive oil
Chili flakes
.
Method :
🥣 blanch spinach ( boil spinach in water and soak in cold water/ ice water for 10 min to retain the taste and color, easy cooking ). Blend into paste by adding garlic without adding water.
🥣 cook pasta in the boiled spinach water and strain the remaining water.
 🥣 now take a thick bottomed pan and add butter. Once it gets heated add spinach puree, saute for 5 min till the aroma comes.
🥣 Now add cooked pasta and mix. 
Add salt, pepper, chili flakes and give a good mix. Cook for 2-3 min. Serve hot by sprinkling powdered or grated cheese.
.
Serves: 1 person
Duration: 20 min
.
Tip: you can add ketchup while cooking for a unique sweetened taste. You can add boiled sweet corn kernels. Serve immediately, the pasta thickens fast.

Being a south Indian, I haven't tried rajma masala at home. But hubby is a fan of Rajma masala. I tried this easy recipe by Hebbars Kitchen. It's healthy and tasty.
