Ingredients
We try to make our lunches quick and easy. I was looking through some old menus and found our Spinach Pasta Salad recipe!
We used to make this quite a bit, but haven’t had it for awhile, so I made it for lunch. It is so good!
Ingredients
16oz box of pasta (Rotini is the best)
6 cups raw spinach
8oz. shredded cheese
Dressing:
6 tbsp Olive Oil
4 tbsp vinegar (we use apple cider)
3 cloves of crushed garlic
3/4cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
Directions
Cook noodles, strain and cool. tear up spinach a bit. Mix dressing and pour all over noodles and spinach. Add shredded cheese, mix and serve.
You can add more dressing as needed.
You can add more dressing as needed.
Simple and easy and doesn’t take very long either. Perfect for a last minute filling sidedish or light, yet filling lunch.

Wow
that looks so good
I love pasta though I regret eating it because I feel 10lbs heavier
Do you think I could use wheat past instead of white? I’m a wheat girl:)
I would love to make this for lunch sometime this week, thanks for sharing

you probably could use wheat. We use all organic and I don’t care for wheat pasta. it is really sticky.
