Categories     pastas, side dish

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

Salt
1 pound penne rigate
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup (about 10 ounces) frozen spinach, drained and finely chopped
6 or 7 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, stir and cook until tender but still firm to the tooth, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until it just starts to brown. Add the spinach and anchovies, lower the heat to medium, and mash the anchovies with a fork until they disappear into the spinach. Remove from the heat.
  • Set aside about 1 cup pasta water and drain the pasta. Return the spinach to high heat and add the pasta. Toss to combine. Add a few tablespoons pasta water to loosen. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland and unappetizing. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a disappointment. The flavors just didn't come together for me.

I found the spinach to be a bit overwhelming. I would recommend using less spinach or cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less anchovies or omitting them altogether.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe based on what I had on hand. I used kale instead of spinach and sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. It turned out great!

This pasta dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the spinach and didn't even notice the anchovies.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but I was pleasantly surprised. The anchovies were not overpowering at all and added a nice salty flavor to the dish.

The anchovies added a wonderful umami flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again!
