Pasta with garlic anchovy and spinach
Background
This pasta with garlic anchovy and spinach is a quick & easy dish, ready within 15 minutes. You can serve it with grated cheese, if dairy is not an issue for you - Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Goatβs Cheese, Feta would go well with it. The tinned anchovies are quite salty so be careful with the seasoning! You can use gluten-free pasta for this recipe.
