PERUVIAN GREEN SPAGHETTI

This week I made Peruvian green spaghetti, an easy, healthy, quick dinner perfect for hot summer nights.   I made this from memory, & it’s pretty difficult to mess it up.  Serve it as a side or main dish with pasta of your choice.  This sauce is also great on bread.

 INGREDIENTS

Yield = 6-10 servings (about 2 cups)

1	Bunch of fresh spinach, washed
1	Bunch of basil (I used 4 little containers from the store, yield was about 4 cups loosely packed)
3	Garlic cloves
as needed	Olive oil
~½ cup	Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
?	Make enough pasta to serve you for this meal.  This is better when made fresh, so prepare new pasta to use with any leftovers.

PREPARATION

1.  Start a pot of hot water for the pasta.

2.  Working in batches if necessary, blend the spinach, basil, & garlic in a food processor.  You will probably have to scrape down the sides frequently to get the spinach & basil to blend evenly.  Add a little olive oil (while the food processor is on), just enough to make a paste.

3.  Add the Parmesan cheese & mix with the food processor.   Add this based on you preference.  If you do not use cheese, you may want to add a little salt.  Transfer the mixture to a bowl

4.  Toss the cooked pasta with some of the spinach-basil mixture to coat well.  Add a little more cheese if you would like. 

Enjoy!

SUGGESTIONS

Store the leftover spinach-basil mixture in the fridge.  Cook fresh pasta to toss the leftovers.

Spread the mixture on bread (plain or sandwiches).
