Spinach Fettuccine With Yogurt Cream Sauce Food

CREAMY SPINACH FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions. While pasta is cooking prepare sauce. In a 4-quart saucepan mix spinach, cream, butter, parmesan, onion and garlic powders and salt, and simmer over low heat until combined and heated through. Pour sauce over fettuccine and mix well. Serve immediately with parmesan cheese on the side, if desired. Tips Tip: If not served immediately, the sauce will dry out on the pasta. (I refuse to expose how I came across this valuable lesson. Just take my word for it.) So if not serving immediately, keep sauce and pasta separate. Reheat and mix just before serving.

CREAMY SPINACH FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and blanch for one minute. Remove spinach with a large slotted spoon or hand strainer and place in a bowl of cold ice water to stop the cooking. Remove spinach from the ice water and place spinach on paper towels. Squeeze dry and set aside.
• Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water and then add the fettucine. Cook pasta to al dente per package instructions. Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
• While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, cooking until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Taste and add additional seasonings if needed.
• Add the drained pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and spinach. Toss and cook over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes until sauce adheres to pasta. Add additional pasta water if necessary. Remove from heat and toss in basil strips (I use tongs for this, they work great).
• Serve topped with additional basil strips for garnish, if desired, and a hit of freshly ground black pepper.
