Gloriously green and satisfyingly simple to make, this dish really showcases spinach. For a vegetarian version, use a non-rennet hard cheese in place of Parmesan. Ocado stock a good Italian hard cheese*. For a vegan version use plant milk in place of dairy milk and a vegan Parmesan substitute**.

Ingredients (serves 2)
150g spaghetti
75g baby spinach leaves
75g milk (or milk & cream)
2 x cloves of garlic
2 heaped tbsps finely grated Parmesan cheese (or vegetarian/vegan substitute)
2 x mild red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
Olive oil to drizzle (optional)

Method
  1. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente
  2. While the spaghetti is cooking, make the spinach puree. Blend together the raw baby spinach and the milk (or milk and cream, for a richer sauce). I use a stick blender and gradually add handfuls of spinach to the milk, blending as go.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and grate in the garlic cloves using a microplane (or use a garlic crusher)
  4. Place the mixture in a large microwaveable bowl.
  5. Drain the spaghetti. Microwave the spinach mixture on high for 2 minutes. Add the spaghetti and mix well.
  6. Serve with chilies scattered over and a drizzle of olive oil.
