Spaghetti with spinach

Spaghetti with spinach is a dish that will certainly delight you with its rich taste and bright color. It's quick and easy to prepare. However, there is a nuance - spinach leaves need to be soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours so that they are elastic. Creamy sauce will add an additional flavor to the dish. For a healthier option, use low-fat cream or replace it with natural Greek yogurt.
