This dinner came about on a busy weeknight. It was another full day and I was looking for something super quick and super easy for dinner. I came up with this three ingredient green pasta that it so easy it barely needs a recipe. And oh my wow, was this DELICIOUS!!
The catalyst for this meal was a jar of pesto I had in the fridge that needed to be used up within the next day or so. I had no idea how much I liked pesto until I bought this jar and tried it. YUM!
Next ingredient was pasta...whole wheat spaghetti to be exact. Pesto + pasta = match made in heaven.
I decided to keep going with the GREEN theme and add some chopped spinach to the mix. Make it even healthier, right?
I promise this is so easy you won't even need to write down the instructions or a grocery list to make this yourself.
Ingredients:
- Whole wheat spaghetti
- Pesto
- Spinach
See, really just 3 ingredients!
Instructions:
- Cook pasta, drain, add back to hot pot.
- Stir in pesto.
- Add chopped spinach.
- Enjoy!
That's truly it! I did gild the lily a bit here and add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese but that's optional.
I cooked enough for leftovers but it was so tasty I wound up eating it all! Oooops! This was a pretty healthy meal too. A bit of an indulgence with the pasta but it had a good mix of protein, fiber, vegetable, healthy fat and carbs. This is definitely going into my wheelhouse of easy go to weeknight meals!
