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.

- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- Β½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)

- Rinse the spinach and add to the pan with the lemon juice and a spoonful of the pastaβs cooking water. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Put a lid on and let the spinach steam over low heat.
- Take off the lid after 3 minutes and stir until the spinach has completely wilted. Keep it warm under the lid until the pasta is ready.
