How To Make This Creamy Pasta

To make this vegetarian pasta you’ll need to actually cook your pasta in a separate cooking pot in salted, boiling water.

In a pan, you’ll be making the creamy sauce using cream cheese, garlic, tomato paste, spinach, zucchini and tomatoes. It’s super easy.

Then you add the pasta to the pan and stir until it’s covered with the sauce. Optionally you can also add Parmesan cheese or mozzarella, but I didn’t do it and it was also good.

And that’s it. It’s not the healthiest meal in the world, but it’s got some vegetables in it, so if you’re not on a super strict diet – this is a great, quick dinner recipe. You can also use whole grain pasta to make this even healthier.
