Farmhouse Pasta

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       This is one of our favorite pasta recipes.  I've made it for 2 and I've made it for a group of 12.  It's easy, quick, healthy and full of flavor.

 

Farmhouse Pasta

Total time: 30 minutes
    The sauce cooks in the time it takes to boil the water, so it's quicker if you use fresh pasta.  The recipe is based on one I found ages ago in 'The Book of Sauces'.   The original recipe said to thaw the spinach and squeeze dry... then add water.  That didn't seem very logical to me so I put the spinach in frozen.  The sauce is meant to be very thick - add more water as desired.
