Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
12 ounces spaghetti
1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 ounces baby spinach (about 4 cups)
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a large skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the walnuts to a cutting board (reserve the skillet) and let cool slightly, then very finely chop.
  • In the last 2 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, gorgonzola, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the skillet. Toss until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed; season with salt.
  • Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with the walnuts. Drizzle any remaining sauce in the skillet on top.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, but the gorgonzola was a bit overpowering.
