400g fusilli
500g bag spinach
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp olive oil

good pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, boil a kettle of water, then slowly pour over the spinach in a colander until it wilts. Shake off the excess water, then put the spinach into a food processor.
