I love thin crust italian pizza along with authentic italian soups, dinesh loves lasania.
I would like to share a simple receipe of pasta/penne , slightly indianised, so everybody would simply love it!
Ingredients for penne florentine:
- Penne - 100 gms
- palak/green spinach leaves - 3 bunches (depending on their size!)
- 2 cups of milk or 1/2 cup of cream
- black pepper - 1 tsp grounded/powdered
- green,red and yellow capsicum - each 1 sliced
- oil - 3tsp
- salt - to taste
Method :
- Cook penne/pasta as we do normally,strain and wash in cold water and add some oil so that it does not stick with each other.
- Clean and wash palak/spinach leaves several times,boil and grind them into a paste(as we do for palak panner)
- Heat a kadai add oil and fry the red ,yellow and green peppers and remove them in a cup
- now in the same kadai add the blended pureed spinach and when it comes to a boil add salt and the fried peppers
- slowly add the cooked penne and stir well snd wait for two mins so that the penne binds well with spinach
- Add a tsp of pepper for spice and milk or cream.
- Stir well for a minute and serve hot!
