Rich, comforting, and packed with flavour, this Creamy Spinach & Tomato Pasta called “The Valentines Day Special” is made effortlessly using Regano Pasta Sauce, tender pasta, and melty cheeses. With sautéed onions, aromatic spices, and fresh spinach folded into a creamy tomato base, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights when you want something hearty, satisfying, and delicious with minimal effort.
What You’ll Need:
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
Onion (chopped) – 1 small
Mixed spices (Italian herbs or seasoning of choice) – 1 tsp
Regano Pasta Sauce – 1 cup
Water – 2 cups
Pasta (any shape) – 1½ cups
Fresh spinach – 1 cup
Cream cheese – 2 tbsp
Mozzarella cheese (grated) – ½ cup
Salt and black pepper – to taste
How to Make It:
Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion until soft and fragrant.
Add your spices and stir for a few seconds to release the flavours, then pour in the Regano Pasta Sauce, water, and pasta. Stir well to combine.
Cook over medium-low heat, allowing the pasta to simmer until tender and the sauce thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, add the spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.
Stir in the cream cheese and mozzarella until melted and creamy, creating a rich, velvety texture.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Pro Tip: Add grilled chicken or mushrooms for extra protein, or top with fresh herbs and chilli flakes for a flavour boost. Perfect served straight from the pot for a cosy, comforting meal.
