Cooking Steps
- Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the penne.
- Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
- Cook the penne for 10 - 12 minutes, covered, then reserve some of the pasta water before draining and setting aside.
- Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan.
- Fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the mince and the oregano.
- Fry for 3 - 4 more minutes, then tear the spinach directly into the pan and allow to wilt and reduce.
- Add the herbed cream cheese, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, dice the tomato and transfer to a bowl.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, then mix well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Did you know... tomatoes are high in vitamins A, C and E, as well as lycopene, an antioxidant which protects our cells against damage. The riper the tomato, the richer it is in lycopene!
- Stir the penne into the creamy spinach sauce and cook for 1 more minute, adding a splash of pasta water as necessary if the sauce is too thick.
- Serve the penne on plates.
- Garnish with the tomato salsa and the grated cheese.
