Spinach Pesto Pasta Recipe | Pasta with Green Leaves Pesto

This is the last recipe from a bunch of Callaloo/Mulai Keerai/Thotakura/Spinach/Green leaves i bought one day :-). As I promised in Spinach Pakora/Bajji and Thugayal/Chutney recipes, today I am here with the spinach pesto pasta recipe. If you have any left over thogayal/chutney of spinach you can use it. Otherwise make it fresh and proceed with the pasta recipe below. Hop over the link provided in ingredients list to get the green leaves chutney recipe.

• Now add chopped tomato if using and saute till it mashes well.
• Add the pesto paste and saute for another couple of minutes.
