OK OK so I am only human and I do allow myself a cheat day every now and again... Apart from eating clean most days, particularly staying away from things like dairy and gluten, I sometimes do feel for indulging in things like pasta, with abit of cream ofcourse. :)
You can cetainly use store bought spiral pasta or you can make your own at home. This recipe is literally put everything together and in 10 minutes and you have a fabulously plated meal ready for you and your loved ones.
For this recipe you will need: -
(Serves 2)
200g spiral pasta
1 TBLS olive oil
1 Brown onion finely chopped
1 punnet of baby spinach
1 punnet of button mushrooms finely sliced
1 cup of frozen baby peas
3 TBLS of double thick cream (I personally prefer using PURA as it uses vegetable gum instead of gelatine as a thickening agent)
Crushed garlic (I used quite abit as I love garlic in pasta)
Salt and pepper to taste
Method: -
Bring a pot of water with salt and a splash of olive oil to a boil, to cook the pasta. In a seperate pot (place over a medium heat) add olive oil, onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent. Add the spinach, mushrooms and frozen baby peas and let this cook until the peas are almost mushy. Season with salt and pepper and add the cream. Let this just start to simmer and then add the cooked pasta. The aroma that you experience while cooking this dish is unreal and you will liertally want to eat it straight out of the pot....Of course you can add more cream and make the dish more like an alfredo pasta but just remember to adjust with salt and pepper accordingly. You can also add some parmesan cheese when you serve up this dish, but I just wanted to throughly enjoy the cream for the moment..... :) Much love as always CC
