Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

Whole wheat pasta is full of fiber which makes you feel full. Spinach is also one of the best sources of dietary magnesium, which is necessary for energy metabolism, maintaining muscle and nerve function.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Whole wheat penne - 1 katori 
  • Garlic cloves - 1 tsp 
  • Milk - 1 tbsp
  • Freshly ground black pepper - ½ tsp
  • Baby spinach leaves - 10-12 leaves
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black / green olives - 5 pieces - to garnish

DIRECTIONS:
Step 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the penne and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally about 12 minutes. Step 2 Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add salt, pepper, and half of the spinach leaves. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Step 3 Set the spinach mixture aside. Meanwhile, place the remaining spinach leaves in a large bowl. Step 4 Drain the pasta. Spoon the pasta atop the spinach leaves in the bowl.  Step 5 Add spinach mixture over the pasta mixture and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten.  Step 6 Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve.
