Serves up to 2-3 people
Preparation time:30 minutes

Ingredients:

300 grams of bow shaped pasta
handful of spinach
1/2 red bell pepper

Preparation:

1. Cut the veggies in to small pieces.

2. In the large saucepan, add water and salt for the pasta. Once the water starts boiling add pasta. Keep stirring once in a while. Cook the pasta  al dente (firm to the bite) for 12-15 minutes. Transfer the pasta to the strainer. Save 1/4 cup of pasta water for later.

3. Add 1 tsp of olive oil to the pan, then add the veggies saute for 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper and salt for the vegetables.


4. Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, remaining black pepper powder. Switch off the flame.
