Classic Pesto Pasta with a Homemade Twist:

Who doesn’t fancy a big bowl of pasta when you’re having a cozy lunch at home, especially when it tastes good ? With this recipe, you can have all of that plus it’s quick, easy and guilt-free !

- First, cook your penne pasta in salted water until it is al dente (it should be cooked but still have some bite to it).

- While it’s cooking, chop all cherry tomatoes in two.

- In a food processor (or blender if you’re not a big cook), add all the ingredients needed to make the pesto sauce. Then mix until you achieve a thick and creamy consistency.

- Once your pasta is cooked, drain the water out and place it back onto the stove at low heat. Add the tomatoes and sauce then mix well until it’s all combined. This part is optional, but if you like cheese as much as I do, you can add some parmesan and stir once again.

- Take it off the heat and serve.

Ingredients:

For the sauce : For the pasta :

• 3 cups (or ½ a packet) of fresh spinach - ​1 box whole wheat pasta, prepared
