Tomato and Spinach Pasta

Julia

My tomato and spinach pasta that I am sharing today was one of those creation recipes. Β I wanted pasta and wanted to put some spinach in it, along with turkey… and this delicious recipe is what came out of it. Β If you aren’t a big spinach fan, leave it out or only put half in. Β Even Mo liked it! Β Make sure you check out the other recipes linked up for Tickle My Tastebuds!

      You are very welcome! I had to refrain from putting “Roll Tide” or my Buckeye-loving husband would have killed me. πŸ™‚

      I was surprised how good it was… I have never used spinach in just regular pasta… just alfredo or lasagna.
