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, Goat’s 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.

Ingredients

200g pasta of your choice
4 garlic cloves, chopped
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
6 anchovies, from tin
100g baby spinach
Juice and zest of 1 small lemon
Cheese of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic for a 30 seconds over low heat, then add the anchovies (and chilli flakes if used). Cook for another minute or so until you get a paste.
Rinse the spinach and add to the pan with the lemon juice and a spoonful of the pasta’s 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.
Drain the pasta and mix with spinach sauce.
Add some grated cheese, if preferred, and serve.
