Spinach, tomato and mozzarella pasta
Background
When you want a quick and easy lunch or supper the recipe of this spinach, tomato and mozzarella pasta could come handy. It’s ready within 15 minutes, it’s delicious and filling. This version is vegetarian but you can supplement it with Parma ham, crispy bacon or smoked salmon/mackerel. I made it with gluten-free rice pasta, but any type of pasta can be used.
