Paccheri is one such unique artisanal range of Pastas from Italy. This is not only a visual stunner but also gets done quickly and is an absolute winner all the way in terms of flavour and texture.
Spinach with lots of Amul Mozzarella Cheese makes it a super tempting one.
With simple ingredients, it is one of the most loved Pasta in my family.

Spinach and Cheese is always a great and a perfect combo used in many dishes including the variety of Pastas. It's creamy and luscious. Children would love to have it on any given day and so would be the adults too. They won't be left far behind too as it is delicious and delightful both with it's amazing looks and of course texture as well.

Steps

30-35 minutes

1

Bring water to a rolling boil on a high heat at first with some salt and oil. Boil the pasta al dente. Drain and set aside.
2

Now moving to the preparation of the cheesy sauce, we need to gather all the ingredients. Heat some olive oil in a pot. Add the minced garlic and both the chopped onions. Saute until translucent. Now add in the chopped spinach. Cook on a medium high heat until it's done. Season with salt and pepper. Also stir in some fresh cream and a little of the cheese for a creamy cheesy spinach sauce.
3

Also don't forget to bake it. Baking it in the oven gives it a perfect texture and flavour too. Now spread some tomato paste on the baking pan. Now fill up each of the Paccheri pasta with the cheesy spinach mix. Arrange all side by side.
4

Now top up with the remaining of the cheese. Cover with an aluminium foil and bake in a preheated oven on 180° for about 25 minutes or so. That's all.
5

Allow it to cool down a bit and then it's ready to serve. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
