An easy spinach sauce – silky and creamy, and made entirely without cream. It takes barely 20 minutes to make, and just look at that beautiful green colour.
Serve the pasta on its own or alongside a piece of pan-fried chicken, salmon or beef. If you serve the pasta without meat, I would suggest a piece of bread, a tomato salad or something similar on the side.

Det smager super lækkert! Mit blev dog samlet lidt i en klump, og slet ikke så flot og cremet som på dit billede. Hvad kan det mon skyldes?
hej Sofie
Dejligt den smagte dig 🙂
Jeg tænker der kan være to ting, – huskede du at fortynde med pastavand? Også efter den er vendt med pastaen, – der justeres konsistensen nemlig en sidste gang 🙂
Og ellers tænker jeg det kan være den pasta du har brugt. Måske den har ligget for længe efter den blev drænet så den har sat sit i klumper?
Warm wishes, Dianna
