Spinach Garlic Whole Wheat Pasta image

This recipe incorporates everything I was in the mood for to accompany chicken parmesan one night. The flavor is mild, which complimented the spicy tomato sauce on the chicken. Just a few ingredients and cooks up quickly!

Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups whole wheat rotini, dry
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 -6 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
1 slice onion, finely chopped
salt & pepper
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil in medium pot & cook rotini according to package directions.
  • While pasta is boiling, in a large skillet warm the olive oil on a low temperature with the garlic and onion. The point is to impart flavor into the oil, not to cook the garlic & onion quickly. About 2 minutes before the pasta will be finished, turn the heat up to medium, to turn the garlic & onion golden.
  • Drain the pasta, add it to the the olive oil in the skillet, and toss in the spinach. Keep the heat on medium, and stir for 1-2 minutes until everything is mixed and warmed through.
  • Serve onto plates, add 1 teaspoon pine nuts on top of each serving.
