Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounce penne pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound spinach (washed and trimmed)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup currants soaked in port wine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add penne and boil for 10 minutes or according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a heavy 12-inch skillet heat butter and olive oil until foamy. Add pine nuts and saute, stirring continuously until they turn golden. Add garlic and saute for a minute to release the aroma. Add spinach in two batches if you must and toss together just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon or so of water to get spinach steaming. Drain pasta and serve in bowl. Toss with wilted spinach and garnish with port soaked currants.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach. I usually add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great. I used a whole wheat penne pasta and it was still very good. I will definitely be making this again.
