Easy Vegetarian Fusilli Pasta with Spinach



Spring season brings new and fresh green leaves on trees and with that a new phase of life starts on mother earth. This also marks our Bengali new year in April. Although, bit late but anyways, it’s good to be late than never. Let me wish everyone a ‘Shobho Naba Borsho’. May you all have a great year ahead filled with delicious food, good health and happiness.
We are having school holidays over here with Good Friday and Easter approaching soon. Let me also wish everyone have a ‘Good Friday’ and a very ‘Happy Easter’ in advance also.


This fusilli pasta recipe with baby spinach is a quick way of fixing dinner, in case you are running out of time. I have liked fusilli pasta because of its shape, bit of twist to a normal pasta and the flavours are bursting and more prominent.
Now to the recipe
