Ingredients
- 340 g Wholewheat macaroni pasta
- 45 g Ricotta cheese
- 30 g Parmesan cheese
- 250 g Spinach leaves
- 25 g Basil leaves
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 3 g Salt
- 1 g Black pepper
- 240 g Butter beans
- 40 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 100 g Feta cheese
- 2 g Chilli flakes
Preparation
- Add the pasta to a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer for around 12 minutes until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Optionally wilt the spinach in a pan first to reduce volume, then add it to a blender along with the ricotta, Parmesan, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, butter beans, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the pan. Pour the green sauce over the pasta and stir over low heat until warmed through.
- Serve into bowls, top with crumbled feta cheese, extra basil leaves, and a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
