Easy spinach sauce and noodles

Category: Recipes

Ingredients:

A teaspoon of olive oil
Creamy Alfredo pasta sauce (like "Ragu" or "Classico" ) 1 jar for 4 servings.
Whole bunch of fresh spinach ( I usually use half of the stems too, for more added vitamins)
A small bunch of basil
A couple of "mint" leaves (optional)
Half teaspoon of salt
Pepper to the taste


Easy !
Mix all the ingredients in the blender at low speed until all mixed up.
( adding a bit of water depending on how creamy you like it and how creamy the alfredo sauce is )

Serve over any kind of noodles with lots of parmesan cheese !


***** This is an easy sauce in replace of a pesto sauce. Spinach is very healthy and good for you ! I usually serve also a salad of sliced tomatoes with vinegar, salt and pepper. My husband thinks the mint leaves are only meant for desserts but it is not true !! if you are into exotic tastes you may like them, if not, you can ommit them.

Enjoy !.......Pasta is great for the night before a bike ride. Have fun burning those carbs the next day ! If you don't excercise the next day it is not a good idea to eat pasta before going to bed....
Bon'Appetite !
