We always try so hard to pack in those greens and I have discovered one way to make it very appealing. Pairing spinach and kale with bow-tie pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
As a general rule for feeding pasta, I always overcook it to make it super soft, easy to chew and saute the cooked pasta in a splash of butter,Parmesan and black pepper.
As for the pasta sauce, I decided to break away from the traditional marinara and try my luck with some "greens". It worked for now, I'm sure he will catch on and call me out someday! If he doesn't, his dad will. Lets enjoy this while it lasts, but hey - it was yummy so lets just go with the flow.
Green Pasta
Ingredients :
Cooked pasta
Half onion (finely chopped)
1 Tomato (finely chopped/tomato paste)
Spinach-Kale puree
1 clove garlic
Oregano, Basil, Salt to taste
Half a cube of cream cheese triangles ( the secret ingredient that makes everything so YUM )
Method :
Saute onions and garlic till fragrant. Add in the tomatoes and spinach puree. Bring to boil and season with herbs and salt. Turn of the gas and add the cream cheese cube and blend well.
Add cooked pasta and serve :)
Easy - peasy - super yummy!
