This easy pasta recipe is a go-to family favorite!
I’ve been making Spinach Fettuccine with Fresh Tomato Basil Sauce, an easy, fast, healthy yet hearty recipe for family & friends forever. It’s so,ple enough for a quick dinner and robust enough to serve to friends.
Use only fresh tomatoes and basil since canned and dried don’t translate well. To amp up the protein, you can always add some feta cheese, sautéed shrimp or chicken. If you’re skipping pasta, just serve the sauce over fish or chicken. And, if you’re lucky enough to have left overs, it’s not as pretty, but tastes even better day 2.
Enjoy!
