How to Make Creamy Spinach Noodles

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 quarts) to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 1 pound of pasta (your favorite shape) and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  3. While the pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large casserole dish over medium heat. Add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden (about 1 minute).
  4. Add the drained pasta to the casserole dish. Stir in 10 ounces of fresh spinach (roughly chopped), 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup of heavy cream or milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper each. Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor (optional).
  5. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Mix everything thoroughly until the cream cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
