You Will Need:

Pasta
  • 1 x 500 g good quality penne pasta
  • 3 T (45 ml) olive oil or cold pressed grape seed oil
  • 2 t (10 ml) Ina Paarman's Pasta Spice
  • 250 g cream cheese or creamed cottage cheese
Sauce

Method:

Boil the pasta in water according to packet instructions.

Drain when done but reserve ¾ cup of pasta water.

Toss the cooked pasta with this water, olive oil, Pasta Spice and cream cheese.

Keep warm.

Sauté the onion, pre-seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning, in a large pan or saucepan in the olive oil, add the chilli near the end.

Add the spinach (with water still clinging to the leaves) stir-fry to mix.
