The Best Parmesan Spinach Whole Wheat Pasta by ilonaspassion.com

Happy Wednesday! It’s middle of the week already. The time is going so fast.

Since I’m watching what I’m eating lately I’ve decided to make healthy spinach whole wheat pasta topped with fresh tomato and parmesan. Also, I am limiting meat consumption recently. I don’t have to have meat for every dinner. My children love meatless dinners and maybe that’s why I am thinking about new main course possibilities.

Sometimes I can create something delicious that my meat-eater husband will say that it’s really good. Just couple healthy ingredients and perfect dinner can be made. I’ve used whole wheat pasta, tomato, spinach (my favorite) and parmesan cheese. Everything sauteed nicely on the frying pan with just a little butter. Such a perfect spinach whole wheat pasta I’ve got on the plate.

The Best Parmesan Spinach Whole Wheat Pasta by ilonaspassion.comI like spinach, but I don’t buy it very often. I’m not sure why. Probably I am always forgetting about it. Or I don’t know what to make with spinach. I have to change it and I should think of more ideas for cooking with spinach. There are many great recipes that involve this vegetable full of vitamins A, C, K, magnesium, folate and of course iron.

If you are thinking about meatless Monday; you can think about this spinach whole wheat pasta. I will tell you it’s very delicious. It’s healthy and without any excessive calories. Do you like meatless dinners? What is your favorite meatless main course?

    I haven’t had wheat pasta in years. Mostly because I found it was chewy and tasted like paper. Is there a good brand you’d recommend? Must try those potato cakes with dill! #bif

      I used Blue Menu brand. I am in Canada, I don’t remember if Blue Menu is in USA. Whole wheat pasta taste a little different than regular one. With parmesan cheese it was very good. I personally loved this recipe:) Thank you Leilani for visiting and commenting.

    This looks delicious and very kid friendly. I’m always ending up with more spinach than I need, so this is a good use for that.
