Fettuccine a la Spinaci

Fettuccine a la spinaci

Italian the easy way. Fresh spinach cooks in the blink of an eye.

The young and fresh spinach is a welcome for launch together with already prepared pasta this is done in a few minutes. If you need to cook the pasta first, it will take a little longer, but it's still very quick.

My Rating 

(feel free to add your own in the comments)

• ★★★★☆ Taste - Very good, but some specials would make it even perfect.
• ★★★☆☆ Price - I spent about 4€ for this.
• ★★★★★ Time - about 5 minutes. 
• ★★★★☆ Healthiness - A lot of vegetables in here, with wholemeal pasta it'd be 5 stars.
• ★★★★★ Simplicity - Wow it was done so fast. 

Ingredients

• 125g Cooked Fettuccine (or take 75g dry pasta and cook it)
• 300g Fresh Young Spinach (preferably washed)
• 1 Spoon of Cream Cheese
• 1 Tomato (small or medium sized)
• Basil (frozen or fresh leaves)

Directions

1. Put a small pot with some water and the fettuccine onto the cooker and heat it up.
2. Add the cream cheese, the basil, some salt and pepper.
3. Cut the tomato into small pieces and add them. 
4. Let it boil until the pasta is done and turn the cooker of. 
5. Add almost everything of the spinach. It will lose it's volume quite quickly, so if it doesn't fit into the pot, just wait a second.
6. Put everything on a plate and decorate it with some fresh spinach and basil. Bon Appetit :) 

Make it Special

(these are optional and depend on your personal preference, time or money)

• Shaved Parmesan cheese on top for a stronger taste.
• Add some fruity flavor with lemon juice and suggar. 
• Season it the italian style with herbs like rosemary, oregano or thyme.
