Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup shallots, minced
1 pound spinach, stemmed and washed
1 bunch basil, stemmed (4 to 5 cups lightly packed)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 pounds fettuccine

Steps:

  • 1. In small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, submerge spinach and basil in a large pot of simmering salted water; drain immediately. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer spinach and basil to a food processor. 3. Add shallots, ricotta, Parmesan, and nutmeg; season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Process until smooth. 4. Cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with spinach sauce; thin with pasta water, as needed. Serve with extra grated Parmesan, if desired.

Absolutely delicious! The sauce had just the right amount of tang and creaminess. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese for an even more flavorful dish.
