How to Make Fettuccine With Spinach Cream Sauce

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to adjust the consistency.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional).
