Green Stelline

It's no surprise that my son's favorite food is pasta. At first I gave him a bite of my plain buttered stelline and then after realizing he loved it, I got sneaky with it and added a whole bunch of spinach. It's really easy to sneak half an avocado into the sauce too, but I usually am eating it with him and I'm allergic to avocados so most times I just mash a little bit of one up and stir it into his bowl!

What you need:

• 1 1/2 cups stelline pasta
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 handful spinach (about 1 packed cup)
• 1 1/2 cup grated parmesan-reggiano
• 1/4 cup EVOO
• *If you don't properly salt your pasta water, you'll need to add 1/4 tsp salt to the sauce

What to do:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the stelline according to package instructions.
2. Combine all other ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Strain the pasta and the mix the sauce in. I usually add a tablespoon or so of butter too! Enjoy warm, but it's also good cold too. ;)
