- Lower the temperature and add 200 ml of single cream into the spinach.
- Cook the pasta. Once the pasta is done mix it with the creamy spinach sauce.

This is one of our quick creamy spinach pasta sauces that works great with any pasta or gnocchi. I think the taste of parmesan compliments the creamy spinach sauce perfectly. If you are not vegetarian try to add fried bacon to the dish as in my opinion it comes together with spinach and pasta really well too.
I usually make a pasta meal at least once a week. I have a favourite few easy pasta sauces which I make more often because they are quick and I know they are always successful with my children. Our simple tomato sauce is one of them, especially the blended version and this creamy spinach sauce is at least as popular.
I think now when the new school year has started and the days are busier, we will have this tasty creamy spinach pasta for our dinners more often.
