Dining In - Oreccheitte in No-Cook Spinach Sauce

Oreccheitte in No-Cook Spinach Sauce - Chloe's Kitchen

A light pasta dish perfect for summer - made with healthy ingredients like lima beans, baby spinach, green beans. I even added some chopped up cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor. This could be served hot or cold. As with most of the other recipes here, a food processor is key! You can find this recipe and others in Chloe's Kitchen (buy your copy here).

1 pound oreccheitte pasta (check out Trader Joe's for a dairy free version!)

4 oz. frozen green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

10 oz. frozen lima beans

5 oz. fresh baby spinach

3 cloves garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Cook oreccheitte pasta according to the package directions, but with 5 minutes left on cook time add green beans and lima beans. Let cook until veggies are tender and pasta is ready. Drain water.

For the sauce, combine spinach, garlic, olive oil, water, lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper in a food processor and pulse until combined. 

Put cooked pasta and sauce in a large bowl and toss together. Done!
