Method:
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pasta until just cooked through then drain, cover and set aside.

- Lower the heat and add the baby spinach, cover with a lid, and cook until the spinach has wilted.
- Remove from heat and stir through cooked pasta, pesto, and lemon juice
Tips:
- You can replace spaghetti with any other pasta shape you have available.
- Regular spinach can be used instead of baby spinach, just wash and chop into smaller pieces.
