    Spaghetti with spinach | Spaghetti recipes

    March 18, 2013 by Raks Anand 27 Comments /

    Spaghetti with spinach is perfect for lunch, makes such a satisfying meal with goodness of greens and flavor from garlic.

    spaghetti with spinach

    I like the combination of pasta and spinach always, like in this recipe. It goes well with each other.

    So when I saw this recipe in the cookbook I borrowed from library, I loved the simplicity of the recipe and sounded healthy too.

    Made it last week for my lunch. It was so filling and had a hearty meal. Make it for your kid, they would love it too. The flavour burst of garlic and the tanginess lemon gives, yummy!
