It is a wonderful recipe to use fresh spinach when in season.

A nice bonus is that kids really like it, even though it has spinach, because it’s so creamy and fun to eat.

Spinach and Mascarpone Pasta

By Christina
Yields: 6 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes minutes
This spinach and mascarpone pasta is a creamy goodness that can be on your table in 20 minutes or less! An easy and wholesome meatless meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked pasta, I like to use tagliatelle
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g) butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
  • 14 ounces (397 g) fresh spinach, finely sliced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
  • 5 1/3 ounces (151 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 2/3 cup (67 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions (reserve about half a cup of the pasta water prior to draining it).
  • While the pasta is cooking, add the olive oil, butter, garlic cloves, and nutmeg to a skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the spinach and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until wilted, dark, and deliciously intense in flavor. Most of the liquid should be gone.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the heavy cream, mascarpone, and two tablespoons of the pasta water. Bring to a boil and then season again. Take the skillet off the heat.
  • Add the drained pasta to the skillet and stir into the sauce. Add the parmesan and toss until coated (add a tablespoon of the pasta water so it doesn’t get too thick, gradually adding more as needed until you get a creamy consistency). Season with salt and pepper again as needed.
  • Serve immediately.
