• Pasta80g
• Spinach1/2 bunch
• Ham (or bacon/sausage)2 slices (optional)
• Butter (margarine if needed)to taste
• Wheat flour1 tbsp
• Milk150ml
• Pasta cooking water1 ladle
• Consommé1/2 tbsp
• Coarsely ground black pepperto taste

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water with plenty of salt (not included in measurements) to a boil and start cooking the pasta about 1 minute shorter than package directions.

2. 2

   Blanch the spinach, then cut it into 4-5cm pieces. Cut the ham (or bacon/sausage) into half circles and trim into 1cm-wide pieces.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a frying pan and sauté the spinach and ham.

4. 4

   Sprinkle 1 tbsp of wheat flour evenly over the mixture and stir over low heat until the flour is fully incorporated.

5. 5

   Gradually add 150ml of milk while stirring to avoid lumps. Add 1 ladle of pasta cooking water and 1/2 tbsp of consommé, then stir until the sauce thickens.

6. 6

   Add the cooked pasta to the cream sauce and mix well. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.

7. 7

   Transfer to a serving dish and finish by sprinkling with coarsely ground black pepper to taste.

We recommend using plenty of salt when boiling the pasta to ensure it's well-seasoned. The sauce becomes even richer if you add onions or mushrooms. If spinach isn't your favorite, blanching it beforehand will make it milder.
