BM #90 Week 3 Day 3 - 

As part of an everyday meal, I made this healthy green pasta to keep my kids happy and also to celebrate my little one's birthday. Featured in the platter - Healthy Green Pasta, Coconut Brownie and Ice cream. I made the brownie (Recipe coming soon) for the midnight cake ceremony per my little one's choice.:)

My kids are fond of pasta in all its variety and when they saw this in the social media feed, they were after me to make this. To convince me that they would eat it without any complaints, they went grocery shopping all by themselves to buy the required ingredients.

This dish was done in a jiffy as I had the spaghetti cooked by the time they got back with the basil and arugula. I then made the pesto, steamed and seasoned the veggies and served immediately. I couldn't be happier to see their oohs and aahs. My little one gave me a big hug and said that I made her birthday extra special. :)
