Spinach Pesto Pasta

My kids love pasta. I try to include Spinach / any keerai as part of our meal every alternate days. After higher grades my kids seldom come home for lunch during school days. So I started incorporating the vegetables as part of dinner. I wanted to try spinach pesto for quite sometime. Not sure kids would like it. Last weekend my kids went out for seminar in the school. So for dinner they wanted pasta. So I made spinach pesto pasta. Kids loved it. It is perfect way to include green leafy vegetable into kids meal plan
