Creamy Spinach Pasta

A quick and healthy dish. To my surprise my kids loved it.

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins
Serves: 2


Ingredients: Macaroni pasta( 100 gm)
Spinach (palak):1 medium size bunch
Onion: 1 medium size chopped
Garlic: 4-5 flakes
Olive oil: 2 tbs
Butter: 2 tbs
Milk: 1/2 cup
All purpose flour: 2 tsp
Salt & Pepper: According to your taste or1/2 tsp
Cheese: 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese


Method:

Cook pasta for 5 mins with little salt. Drain the pasta with cold water and keep aside for draining. Wash spinach nicely and boil it with little oil and make fine puree.

Heat 1 tbs of olive oil and saute the onion and garlic till they are cooked. In another pan make white sauce. Add butter and saute flour till flour turns brown and separates from butter. Add milk and stir continuously not letting lumps to form. White sauce start thickening. While boiling add spinach mixture, pepper and salt. Add remaining milk and water to adjust the consistency to be thinner. Gently add pasta and shredded cheese and mix well.

Serve lukewarm pasta to kids with soup.
