Green Pasta

AKA "How to Get Your Kids to Eat Greens"
or A Great St. Patrick's Day Recipe


1 very large bunch fresh spinach, kale, chard or other greens
(the recipe says you can use 10 oz frozen spinach, but I've never tried it.)
1/4 cup warm chicken broth
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup milk
dash salt
1 lb pasta cooked & drained
1/4 cup butter

Steam fresh spinach just until wilted (frozen spinach until warm). Combine spinach and a little bit of cooking liquid with warm broth, cheese, milk & salt in blender. Process until smooth.
Toss pasta in bowl with butter.
Add spinach mixture; toss to mix well.

Makes approx 6 serving. Enjoy!
