Spinach & Tomato Fettucini

Spinach & tomato fettucini is the summer side you need to bring to your next picnic or pot-luck! The perfect balance of veggie and pasta, it adds colour and flavour to any spread.

I like pasta; it’s quick to make, stores for really long in the pantry, can be bought inexpensively on sale, and is super versatile. I also like vegetables (well, I am a dietitian after all!) for their flavour, colour and of course nutritional benefits.

 

Using pre-washed and cut (just rip leaves into smaller pieces if needed) or frozen (defrost and drain) spinach for this dish is my favorite tip for cutting down on prep time; making it easy enough for a weekday dinner! Plus you’ll have lunch leftovers 🙂

Add a quick protein on the side (canned salmon, hard-boiled eggs, and canned beans are some of my favorite pantry staples), and you’ve got the total package of a balanced meal!
