‘Necessity is the mother of invention’

The last time I went to the supermarket and left my apartment building was two weeks ago, but even then, pasta sauces had left the building. I guess it is something easy to stock up on that is tasty and comforting. Pasta is also a comfort food of my Italian, Mr B and so I had to get inventive. 

I love this recipe as it is super tasty even if you just use the spinach and garlic (as one of my Instagram followers did). The rest of the ingredients add a little more umami. 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup cilantro (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. white miso (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice (optional)
  • ½ tsp. salt 

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender, taste and add additional seasoning if needed
  • Serve with ramen noodles or pasta
