Have you ever tried pasta with creamy Gorgonzola, tender spinach, and toasted pine nuts? This recipe brings together simple ingredients to create a rich and satisfying dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Butter (about 3 tablespoons)
8 cups fresh young spinach (washed)
8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or tagliatelle work best)
½ cup heavy cream
7 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, diced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup toasted pine nuts
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook pasta according to package instructions.
While pasta cooks, sauté spinach with a little butter, salt, and plenty of pepper for about 3 minutes until wilted. Drain and press out excess water with a spoon.
In a separate pan, heat heavy cream, about 2 tablespoons butter, Gorgonzola, and pepper over low heat. Stir until the Gorgonzola melts (about 3-4 minutes).
Roughly chop the cooked spinach and add it along with half of the Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
Drain the pasta and mix it with the sauce. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and the remaining Parmesan before serving.
