How to make spinach spaghetti

Ingredients 🥬

• Spinach (washed)
• Garlic (3 cloves)

• Parmesan cheese (half a tab, grated)

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. On medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large deep frying pan. Then, add the garlic and cook to soften for 1 min, but not quite brown
2. Add the spinach and sauté with the garlic until it is wilted. This should take about 5 minutes. Then, season with salt and pepper, and place aside.
3. Cook your pasta accordingly. Pasta usually takes 10-15 mins to cook on medium heat. Important: Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining. We’ll need this later. Drain the rest of the pasta, and set aside.
4. Get a blender and add the garlic and spinach mixture, with the grated cheese and half of the pasta water. Blend until it forms a sauce, you can add more pasta water if needed.
5. Then, add the sauce back into a hot pan and stir. Once the sauce is heated, add your spaghetti and mix thoroughly until the sauce covers the pasta.
6. Optional: If you choose to use bacon, fry the strips on a separate pan, then chop it finely, and add to your spinach and sauce mix.
7. Once everything is heated through, taste and season with more salt and pepper to your likening. Serve with a sprinkle of cheese, grated.
