Ingredients:

Here’s what you’ll need for this sumptuous dish:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Fresh spinach
2 Butter
3 Green onions
2 Garlic cloves
3/4 Linguine
5 Cream cheese
2 Fresh parsley
3/4 Salt
1/4 Parmesan cheese
1/2 Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions:

Follow these simple steps to whip up this delectable Linguini with Creamy Spinach:

  1. Prepare the Spinach:

    • Start by removing any tough stems from the fresh spinach.
  2. Saute the Aromatics:

    • In a large frying pan, melt the butter over low heat.
    • Add the green onions and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Wilt the Spinach:

    • Toss in the fresh spinach and salt, stirring until the spinach wilts.
    • Allow it to simmer until the liquid evaporates, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the Linguine:

    • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water, cook the linguine according to package directions.
    • Remember to reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Combine Ingredients:

    • Drain the linguine and toss it with 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, along with the spinach mixture, cream cheese, parsley, and ground pepper.
  6. Adjust Consistency:

    • If the sauce appears too thick, incorporate the remaining reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
    • Alternatively, discard the excess pasta water if the sauce is already at the desired thickness.
  7. Season to Taste:

    • Finally, season with salt to taste and serve hot.
