Pasta with Spinach

Pasta with Spinach for Rasyad' lunch

Cleaning up (almost) everything is one of my favorite activities. Yes, maybe I read too much of Cinderella. LOL. The thing is, doing this you'll never know what you'll find. Sometimes it's money (I once found 20 thou, haha), a piece of old picture, or maybe a love letter you once wrote to your teenager boyfriend (wink wink). Last week I found this used recipe magazine I bought on a street. Western low fat recipe, with lots and lots of oh so delicious and easy to make dishes. Get it? Low fat = no salt, no (less sugar) = Rasyad meals. This recipe below I modified so can suit Rasyad's. It is one of my fav. It's so easy to make, very healthy, and sure did delicious. I wrote the Indonesian translation below.
