Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Kosher salt
12 ounces dried egg fettuccine
1 10-ounce bag spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup prepared pesto

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente, adding the spinach during the last 30 seconds of cooking. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and spinach.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the liquid to a simmer. Add the pasta and spinach and toss until coated, about 1 minute. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce.
Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the pesto. Divide among bowls; top with pepper and more parmesan.

I use pre-made or prepared pesto. Pesto concentrate also works great. Very simple and really tasty sauce. Great over pasta, veggies, and chicken. Enjoy!

PESTO CREAM SAUCE

Pesto Cream Sauce image

Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.
