Spirulina-infused Pasta Recipe

Italian · Main course · 25 min total

A vibrant green pasta dish with a subtle earthy flavor from spirulina, perfect for a healthy and colorful meal.

Ingredients

• 12 oz (340g) dried spaghetti or fettuccine
• 2 tablespoons spirulina powder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While pasta cooks, in a small bowl, whisk spirulina powder with 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until smooth to form a paste.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pine nuts, cook until garlic is fragrant and pine nuts are lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to low. Add the spirulina paste to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding more reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce that coats the pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use fresh spirulina powder for the best color and flavor; avoid capsules.
• Adjust the amount of spirulina to your taste; start with 1 tablespoon if you prefer a milder flavor.
• Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of water.
