Provided by Kerry Ciulla

Categories     Penne

Time 27m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb whole wheat penne or 1 lb multi-grain penne
3 garlic cloves
2 ounces goat cheese
1 ounce reduced-fat cream cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the penne and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
  • Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add the goat cheese, cream cheese, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and half of the spinach leaves. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set the cheese and spinach mixture aside.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining spinach leaves in a large bowl.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Spoon the pasta atop the spinach leaves in the bowl. Scrape the cheese and spinach mixture over the pasta mixture and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the Parmesan over and serve.
