pasta with spinach and artichokes

Pasta with spinach & artichokes (Short Girl, Tall Order) makes use of fresh spinach and canned artichokes, so is super-simple and quick to cook. Like all good Italian recipes, this begins by sauteeing garlic and onion in oil. The ‘cream sauce’ is made with oat milk  and cornstarch, and the basil combined with pine nuts, gives a pesto-type flavour.

Spinach is high in vitamin K, potassium and oxalic acid, so check medication and avoid for kidney stones/disease. Avoid basil for bleeding disorders or low blood pressure (it can slow blood clotting).

Keep these recipes away from pets due to garlic, onion, nutmeg and fresh dough (if making your own pasta). Read more on food safety for people & pets. 

Spinach is more than just a leafy green. Packed with nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K, it’s a powerhouse for healthy eating. Adding fresh spinach to your meals isn’t just good for you, it’s a delicious way to boost any dish’s flavour and texture. Whether you’re a fan of Popeye or just looking to eat better, incorporating spinach into your diet offers countless possibilities.

Spinach is tasty and cheap to buy (it’s high in iron but not as high as other some green veggies). The problem is that most is sold in giant packs, so you often have a lot leftover (even though it quickly reduces on cooking).
