Who doesn't love a large bowl of piping hot pasta for dinner? Well, combine this with the fresh flavours of goat's cheese and basil and you'll have a bowl of perfection in no time. Kids and fussy eaters will love the fun green shade and big ones will appreciate the rich flavours from the hidden spinach and earthy basil. If you're not a fan of goat's cheese, this dish will work equally as well with any other type of cheese - a nice creamy mozzarella ripped and scattered on top works deliciously, and a white cheddar will work perfectly blitzed through the sauce.
Enjoy! Goat’s Cheese, Spinach & Basil Linguine Serves 5 Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 1 onion, diced 500g linguine 3 garlic cloves, finely grated 160g frozen spinach 125g goat’s cheese 30g fresh basil Salt and pepper to taste Chilli flakes (optional) 1.

4. Add the spinach and onion mix to a blender with half of the goat’s cheese and the basil and blitz until smooth. 5.
Drain the linguine and transfer back to the pan. Pour over the blended sauce and continue to cook over a low/medium heat. 6.
