Ingredients:
  • 300 gr. pasta
  • 50 gr. butter
  • 50 gr. plain flour
  • 500 ml. milk
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
     
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, and add the flour. Mix well to form a paste, and cook over a low heat for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the milk around 50-100ml at a time, stirring well to form a smooth sauce each time before adding more. Season with salt, black pepper and a generous pinch of nutmeg. Add the grated cheese, and cook for a couple more minutes until it has melted.
     
  3. Place the spinach, basil and parsley in a food processor, and blitz until well chopped. Add this to the white sauce along with the cooked and drained pasta. Serve immediately.


Note : Serves 3.
