About the recipe
Vibrant homemade pasta that's super-fun to make and packed with nutritious spinach.
Recipe From
200g baby spinach
300g Tipo 00 or plain flour, plus extra for dusting
olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
½ teaspoon dried red chilli flakes

50g pine nuts
½ a bunch of fresh basil (15g)
50g Parmesan cheese

Once you’ve mastered the pasta, why not try switching up the sauce you serve it with? A simple homemade pesto or 7-veg sauce would be delicious.
Protein-rich pine nuts are super-high in the mineral manganese, which we need to protect our cells, and in heart-healthy unsaturated fats, which keep our blood cholesterol healthy.
You could also try this with a mixed bag of spinach, watercress and rocket, depending on what you can get hold of.
If you only have frozen spinach, let it defrost and squeeze out as much liquid as you can before blitzing with the flour. If the mixture is sticky, add more flour as needed.
Throw a handful of frozen peas or sweetcorn into the pan when you add the pine nuts for an extra veggie boost.
