Eliche Pasta is one more addition to the exclusively made luscious Artisanal Pasta dishes by me and shared on this wonderful platform. You are gonna love this. Not only is it a yummy variation, it's absolutely flavourful and aromatic too.
With Spinach Greens Pesto, this Pasta Eliche would be a blast especially for all those Pasta lovers out there.
It's quite simple and easy as well. It's a great option for everyday meals, be it a proper Dinner or even a healthy Brunch on a weekend with the entire family. It's a perfect classic choice.

Pasta Eliche is somewhat similar to the Fusili Pasta and is a cork screw shaped Pasta. The selected Semolina Wheat used in it is strictly of Italian origin and of the best quality. The unusual shape of this twisted Pasta pairs well with a thick sauce. It holds the Sauces also quite well. That is the reason why I have thought of using Pesto with it and so just went about giving it an interesting innovative twist with the Spinach Greens which are the healthy Greens that can make this Pasta taste and look so much more luscious and awesome.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Now moving to the preparation of the creamy 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 pesto. Cook on a medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Also add milk and mix well. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Also stir in a little of the cheese for a creamy cheesy sauce.

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.
