Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups cooked small tubular pasta
2 cups chopped green beans
2 cups shredded spinach
1 jar Oliviers and Co. basilic – basil and olive oil spread
½ cup Parmesan cheese
salt to taste
fresh lemon juice to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup Oliviers and Co. olive & basil oil
¼ cup Oliviers and Co. organic balsamic vinegar

Method

Toss the cooked pasta with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and the minced garlic and saute quickly just until the garlic is fragrant and the green beans turn bright green and tender. Toss the green beans and garlic with the pasta. Place in the fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes.
When the pasta is cool, add the shredded spinach, basil and olive oil spread, Parmesan cheese, salt, and fresh lemon juice. Toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Serve individual portions with a drizzle of the olive & basil oil.
Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to each serving, if desired.
Enjoy your refreshing and simple green pasta salad!
