I don't know about you, but creamy pasta dishes are my weakness, especially in the winter, when it's snowing outside and all I want to do is be under the blanket, with some of my favorite movies on. I feel like on those occasions a bowl of creamy pasta is a must-have (or a must-eat).Recently I've been absolutely obsessed with this creamy spinach pasta. I'm not sure what I love more about this pasta, how incredibly easy it is to make, or how unbelievably delicious it tastes! (probably both, and that's why it been my favorite )

What kind of pasta to use?
If you are gluten-free, you can use any gluten-free pasta of choice. I like using gluten-free penne. However, if you are following the low FODMAP diet avoid using pasta made of chickpeas, green peas, or lentils as these ingredients are all high FODMAP.
*FODMAP tips:
*If you are using store-bought garlic-infused olive oil, make sure there are no floating bits of garlic in it. You can also make Garlic Infused olive oil at home by frying garlic cloves in the olive oil until they are golden and fragrant. Then remove them from the oil and continue cooking your meal.
*As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself on which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash University FODMAP Diet App
