SPINACH-CORN PASTA !!!!!!!


My today's recipe is from NAN'S YUM YUMS. Original recipe demands mushroom but i replaced sweet corn with mushroom here.


Ingredients

Pasta - 2 cups (You can use any kind of Pasta. I used Bowtie pasta)
Spinach Puree - 2 cups (I blanched two bunches of spinach and blended it with little water to get a puree of thick consistency)
sweet corn - 1 cup
Onion - 1 medium
Garlic - 5-6 pods
Butter - 2-3 1-inch sized cubes
Italian Seasoning - 2-3 tsp
Red Chilli Flakes - 2 tsp
Olive Oil - 1/2 tbsp
Cheese - 1 cube(i used 2 tbsp Amul cheese spread here)



METHOD:-
  • Cook the pasta as per instructions in the packet. Strain and keep aside.
  • In a m/w safe bowl add sweet corn & 1 cube butter & m/w it for 3 mins.
  • Slice the onions and crush the garlic pods. If you have a garlic crusher, use that, else just finely mince it using the knife. 
  • In a pan, heat olive oil and toss in the garlic and onions. Saute till they turn light brown. 
  • Pour in the spinach puree and sweet corn & amul cheese spread & mix well.
  • Add salt, Italian seasoning and red chilli flakes. Keep the pan covered and allow the mixture to cook for about 1 minute.
  • Now, add the cooked pasta. Gently combine all the ingredients and allow to cook for a minute or two more on low flame.
  • Serve hot.





HAPPY COOKING :)))))))
