Palak Pasta Recipe Ingredients:

Here is the palak pasta ingredients & preparation method... 

How to Prepare Palak Pasta:
Boil macaroni as per instruction on packet. Usually takes about 10-15 mins to cook. Drain under cold running water. Keep aside.
In the meantime, make puree of spinach with some water. It should have a paste consistency.
Heat oil in a pan, add the grated garlic. Once the raw smells goes, add the spinach puree, salt and pepper to the pan. Cook covered, stirring occasionally until the palak is cooked (till it turns dark green and oil starts floating to the top/sides).
In a serving bowl, put the macaroni, top with palak puree, add butter and mix well. It should have a slightly creamy consistency.

Suggested Variations in Palak Pasta:
Fresh cream may be added for that extra creamy texture.
Chunks of cooked chicken, boiled / scrambled eggs, cooked & fried soya may be added in the end for extra taste.
More butter may be added for extra taste and flavour
Fried and crushed red chilies (chili flakes) or chopped green chilies can be added for that extra spice.
May be also served with garlic bread- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan, add small pieces of garlic in it. Remove after few minutes and discard the garlic. Now spread the butter (with garlic flavour) onto toasted bread slices.
Two or three different shapes of pasta may be used to make the dish more interesting and appetizing to children.
