Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounce penne pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound spinach (washed and trimmed)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup currants soaked in port wine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add penne and boil for 10 minutes or according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a heavy 12-inch skillet heat butter and olive oil until foamy. Add pine nuts and saute, stirring continuously until they turn golden. Add garlic and saute for a minute to release the aroma. Add spinach in two batches if you must and toss together just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon or so of water to get spinach steaming. Drain pasta and serve in bowl. Toss with wilted spinach and garnish with port soaked currants.

I added some grilled chicken to this dish and it was amazing! The chicken added a nice protein boost and made the dish even more satisfying.

I'm not a fan of pine nuts, so I substituted them with walnuts. The dish still turned out great!

This dish was a little too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the spinach had been sautéed in less oil.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some additional seasonings.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I often add some crumbled feta cheese to the top before baking for an extra cheesy flavor.
