LINGUINI WITH CREAMY SPINACH
This makes a wonderful meatless main dish or a side dish. I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar in August 2006. I've since made this for my family and they loved it; however, I did made one minor change to the recipe. The original recipe did not call for garlic, but I felt it would have been bland without it. --NOTE-- Frozen spinach can be used. Just thaw, rinse and squeeze water from spinach very well before adding to the skillet of butter.

Steps:
- Remove any tough stems from the fresh spinach.
- In large frying pan, melt butter over low heat.
- Add green onions and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add spinach and salt and stir until wilted.
- Simmer until liquid evaporates from spinach, about 5 minutes.
- In large pot of boiling water, cook linguini according to package directions.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Drain linguini and toss with 3/4 cup of pasta water, spinach mixture, cream cheese, parsley, and ground pepper.
- If sauce seems too thick, add the rest of the reserved pasta water, otherwise you can throw out the remaining 1/4 cup pasta water.
- Salt to taste.

[email protected]Overall, this dish was good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste and the spinach was a bit overcooked. I would make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Parmesan cheese next time. The spinach was a nice addition, but I would have liked it to be more wilted.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less cream next time. The spinach was a nice addition and added a lot of flavor.
