Quick pasta with spinach sauce is the embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in Italian cuisine. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for a busy day, while the harmony of flavors surprises with its depth. Tender spinach, barely touched by boiling water, retains its freshness and vibrant green hue. Olives add zest, and garlic sauce gives the dish a spicy richness. Linguine, with their smooth texture, perfectly absorb the aromatic dressing, creating a bright flavor palette. This recipe recalls the tradition of southern Italy, where the freshness of ingredients and their natural taste are valued above all. Easy to prepare, this pasta is perfect as a light dinner or as a base for experimentation, allowing for the addition of other ingredients to create unique variations.
