30 MIN
SATIETYPORTIONS: 2
Pasta can truly be nutritious, and these are not only that but also incredibly delicious. We get the fiber and eye-catching green color from spinach, while the protein richness comes from peas. It might seem like an unusual combination for a sauce, but I promise it’s exceptionally creamy and rich in flavor.
Ingredients| 4 handfuls | Fresh spinach |
| 1/2 can | White beans |
| 200g | Pasta (about 100g per person) |
| 4 cloves | Garlic |
| Handful | Grated Parmesan cheese (or for a vegan version – Daily Spoon yeats flakes) |
| Half a lemon | Lemon juice and zest |
| According to your taste | Salt, pepper, chili flakes |
| 2 tablespoons | Extra virgin olive oil |
Instructions1
Pour boiling water over the spinach and let it steep for about 5 minutes. Drain the water and make sure not to forget to squeeze out the remaining liquid.
2
Place the garlic in the oven for 15 minutes to roast, as this enhances its umami flavor.
3
In a blender, combine the spinach, beans, roasted garlic, cheese, lemon juice and zest, oil, and seasonings.
4
Warm the mixture in a skillet, adding about half a cup of water from the boiling pasta. Gradually add water until you achieve a creamy sauce consistency. Combine everything with the cooked pasta.
