Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Short, tube-shaped pasta like penne or rigatoni are ideal for this dish as they can hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts brings out their nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality nutmeg: Freshly grated nutmeg has a more intense flavor than pre-ground nutmeg.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, otherwise it will become tough.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made.

Pasta with spinach, nutmeg, and shrimp is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
