Purple Pasta Party

Chop a huge red onion and saute it in olive oil with a bulb of chopped fresh garlic. After the onion is translucent add a pound of frozen cut leaf spinach and glugs of Chianti. Simmer until defrosted.

Meanwhile boil or pressure cook pasta saving some of the sated pasta water. Bowties are great for this

Add the cooked (aldente) pasta (5 minutes in the Instant Pot) and reserve a 1/2 cup salty starchy pasta water. Add cooked pasta to the spinach wine red onion mixture.

Enjoy with hand-grated Asiago or fresh Parmesan.

The pasta turns purple from the red onion spinach and wine! 

It's delicious!
