Easy Tomato and Spinach Pasta Sauce
Easy Tomato and Spinach Pasta Sauce
Created by urbanfoodie, Sunday, 13 September 2009
This is a realy quick and easy pasta sauce. The tomato sauce is big and sweet, garlicky with just the hint of warmth from the chilli. It’s a great base to add to.

Additional tips
It’s a great base to add to, here I have used some chorizo that was lingering in the fridge, the other version is a veggie one with very young, soft goat’s cheese, the kind that doesn’t have a skin yet.
