Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in well-salted boiling water until just tender, about . Drain, saving 1/2 cup of the water.

  2. Toss the warm pasta with the pesto, lemon juice and a splash of the pasta water.

  3. Let it cool for so the pasta soaks up the dressing.

  4. Fold in the tomatoes, spinach and Parmesan and season to taste.

  5. Pack into containers — it keeps for four days in the fridge.

HI, I’M CLAIRE

I started Salt & Supper in a tiny Asheville apartment kitchen with one goal: dinners that taste like a weekend but cook in thirty minutes.

Every recipe here is tested at least three times — by me, by Jenna, and by a reader with a regular oven and a busy life.
