Ingredients
300g Asda Mild & Tender Spinach
15g fresh basil leaves, plus extra to serve
2 garlic cloves, sliced
100g Asda Creamy Original Soft Cheese
400g linguine
225g pack Asda Italian Mozzarella Cheese, drained
10g walnuts, chopped
1 lemon, juiced and zested
Method
1
Place the spinach in a microwave proof dish with 1 tbsp water and heat for 3 mins on full power. Remove, drain and add to a food processor with the basil, garlic and cream cheese. Season and blitz until smooth.
2
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the linguine following packet instructions.
3
Drain the pasta, reserving 100ml of cooking water and return to the pan. Pour over the green sauce and use a pair of tongs to help coat the linguine adding a little pasta water, if you like.

Divide between 4 bowls then tear over the mozzarella, sprinkle over the walnuts and finish with the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper.
