Best Spinach Fettuccine With Yogurt Cream Sauce Recipes

SPINACH FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Tear or coarsely chop spinach.
• In pan, cook garlic and onion in 1/2 of butter until golden.
• Add spinach, cover and cook until wilted.
• Meanwhile, cook fettucine.
• Drain and mix with remaining butter.
• Toss with cream, cheese and spinach.
• Season with lots of pepper and some salt.

CREAMY SPINACH FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and blanch for one minute. Remove spinach with a large slotted spoon or hand strainer and place in a bowl of cold ice water to stop the cooking. Remove spinach from the ice water and place spinach on paper towels. Squeeze dry and set aside.
• Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water and then add the fettucine. Cook pasta to al dente per package instructions. Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
• While pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, cooking until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Season sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Taste and add additional seasonings if needed.
• Add the drained pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water, and spinach. Toss and cook over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes until sauce adheres to pasta. Add additional pasta water if necessary. Remove from heat and toss in basil strips (I use tongs for this, they work great).
• Serve topped with additional basil strips for garnish, if desired, and a hit of freshly ground black pepper.
