Chef Portia Baluyut’s Spinach Cream and Tomato Pasta Recipe Using Meat District Products

Chef Portia Baluyut of Rustic Mornings and Lifestyle Network’s Pinch by Portia had a cooking demo in the recent Meat District event I attended.

Chef Portia prepared three hearty creations using Meat District products, namely Korean beef, sausages and bacon.

Of the three dishes she prepared for the guests, the Spinach Cream and Tomato Pasta was my favorite.

Here is Chef Portia’s recipe for this yummy pasta dish.
