Yield 1 6-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 c heavy cream
1/2 c tomato puree
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese ( 2 oz)

1 lb medium pasta shells

Steps:

  • 1. In a large medium saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add the heavy cream and tomato puree and bring to a boil over high heat.

In a large skillet, cook the pancetta in the remaining 2 tbsp butter over moderately high heat until slightly crisp. Add the spinach in batches and cook, tossing, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Preheat the oven to 350F. Cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water until barely al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain. 4. Toss the pasta with the creamy tomato sauce and spinach. Spoon it into a 3 qt shallow baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved this recipe. The pancetta and cheese really balanced out the flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my shells didn't turn out right. They were too mushy.

The shells were a bit dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

I'm not a big fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It was still very good.

I substituted kale for the spinach and it turned out great! I also added a bit of garlic to the filling.
