Green Pasta Sauce

This is Zaara Lina’s absolute favourite pasta sauce. The fresh spinach, mushrooms and coconut milk make this dish a delicious and nutritious meal. TIP: your kids involved in preparing the sauce. They can help you chop the mushrooms, turn on the blender and also mix the sauce and the mushrooms with the pasta.

Give it a try and let us know what you think 🙂
