Fresh Broccoli With Spinach Fusilli image

Excellent fresh tasting pasta with no heavy cream sauce. I have also made with whole wheat pasta with excellent results. From the Joy of Pasta by Joe Famularo and Louise Imperiale. Serve with valpolicella or other dry medium bodied red wine.

Found this in a magazine.Cut out most of the oil it called for as it really didn't need that much. Great main entree. Or a great side dish with chicken or seafood.
