Heat Olive oil in a pan. Add salted butter to this. Add finely chopped onions and garlic and sauté. Add pureed spinach to this and simmer. Add the cream and simmer. Add salt, pepper and herbs. Once done , add the pasta and mix well. To this add the white sauce and remove from heat and mix well. (refer to pasta and white sauce in earlier recipe)
