Pasta With Spinach Sauce

Pasta is a Italian food which is similar to noodles or staple food . Usually I use penne pasta which is cylindrical in shape.
There are different varieties to cook pasta. It only depends on the sauce we use. We can use red sauce, green pesto sauce. These sauce can be prepared at home else we get in market. This time I tried the pasta with spinach sauce. I did the sauce at home. It tastes good. And spinach as we all know how good it is for our health. It was really different taste and more it looked like green pesto pasta.
