Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shallots, minced
1 pound spinach, stemmed and washed
1 bunch basil, stemmed (4 to 5 cups lightly packed)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 pounds fettuccine

Steps:

  • 1. In small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, submerge spinach and basil in a large pot of simmering salted water; drain immediately. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer spinach and basil to a food processor. 3. Add shallots, ricotta, Parmesan, and nutmeg; season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Process until smooth. 4. Cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with spinach sauce; thin with pasta water, as needed. Serve with extra grated Parmesan, if desired.

This pasta dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The spinach and basil are hidden in the sauce, so they don't even realize they're eating them. The sauce is also very flavorful, so the kids love it.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and heavy, and the spinach and basil were not very noticeable. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been lighter and more flavorful.
