Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound spinach
1 pound spaghetti, linguine, or other pasta
2 tablespoons butter (preferred), or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound Roquefort, gorgonzola, or other good blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Set large pot of water to boil, and add salt. Remove largest, thickest stems from spinach; roughly chop leaves and remaining stems. Wash thoroughly.
  • When water comes to boil, add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender. When just about done, add spinach. Stir. As soon as spinach wilts completely -- less than 30 seconds -- drain quickly.
  • Immediately return pasta and spinach to pot, with butter and cheese, over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese and butter melt, all water is absorbed, and pasta is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

This pasta dish is easy and quick to make, but it's still full of flavor. I love that I can use frozen spinach, which makes it a great option for a weeknight meal.

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes! The blue cheese sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the spinach adds a nice touch of freshness. I always get compliments when I make this dish.

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. The blue cheese sauce is too heavy and the spinach is undercooked. With a few adjustments, this could be a really good dish.

This pasta dish is just okay. The blue cheese sauce is not very flavorful and the spinach is a bit bland. I wouldn't make this again.

I found this pasta dish to be bland and uninspired. The blue cheese sauce lacked flavor, and the spinach was limp and tasteless.

This pasta dish is a little too rich for my taste. The blue cheese sauce is very heavy, and the spinach doesn't do much to lighten it up.
