December 13, 2017 by PadhuSankar 5 Comments

Conchiglie spinach pasta is very easy to make, flavorful and perfect for a quick dinner. I have actually made basic white sauce/bechamel sauce and have add few tablespoons of cream to the sauce to make it creamy. Then added finely chopped spinach to it, to make a delicious creamy spinach sauce. You can use any pasta for this but I love conchiglie pasta. What I love about this conchiglie/shell pasta is that it holds the sauce well and that tastes heavenly. Today we will learn how to make creamy spinach pasta following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

   Ingredients needed

   Shell pasta or any pasta – 1 cup
   Spinach – 1 cup finely chopped
   Butter – 1 tbsp
   Garlic – 2 tbsp minced
   Flour – 1 tbsp
   Milk – 1 cup

   Mozerella cheese – 1/4 cup grated

Preparations

Wash and chop spinach finely.

Bring plenty of water to boil with a little salt. Once the water starts boiling, add the pasta and stir well. Keep stirring now and then, so that it does not stick together. Turn off the heat, once the pasta is tender but not mushy. Reserve a little water and drain the rest of the water. Our conchiglie pasta is ready. (You can use any type of pasta for this recipe).

Once the sauce it done, add hot pasta to it. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little reserved pasta water and cook for a few more seconds.

    Hi Padhu. If i make it at night and take it to office for lunch, will it be all lumpy or will it be fine after a spin in the microwave?

      You have to refrigerate it. In the morning, first bring it to room temperature. Then add little water and heat it on microwave. It will be fine.
