If you’ve been over to my house for dinner I’ve probably made you this Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta. It is always a crowd pleaser so I make it a lot. It’s full of flavor but fairly mild so it’s a good one to make if you are unsure of someone’s food preferences.
I love that this recipe is slightly creamy but won’t sit too heavy in your company’s stomach.
