Categories     Spaghetti

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 lemon, juiced, about 1/4 cup
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1/2 lb spaghetti
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups spinach, loosely packed, washed, spun dry and rough chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the zest, juice, mascarpone, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a generous amount of salt. Boil the spaghetti until al dente - removing pasta from heat one or two minutes earlier than you normally would. Drain the pasta - reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and saute until tender. Add the spinach and fry until wilted. Add the lemon/mascarpone mixture, the pasta, and as much of the reserved water as necessary to make the sauce fluid but not watery.
  • Top with the chopped hazelnuts.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Meyer Lemon
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 dashes fresh pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 pound spaghetti
5 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Prep: Zest and squeeze lemon. Reserving both. You want 3 TBSP juice. Chop and toast hazelnuts. Wash and chop spinach.
  • Combine the zest, lemon juice, mascarpone, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil and salt generously. Cook the pasta until al dente, taking it off the heat about 1 to 2 minutes before you would normally remove it. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Return the pasta to the pot, and set over low heat. Stir in the mascarpone sauce. Add the spinach and toss so that the spinach begins to wilt. Add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water (more if necessary) to keep the sauce fluid but not too watery. Continue to cook and toss until the spinach is cooked. Add the hazelnuts and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • For a richer sauce, use full-fat mascarpone cheese.
  • Add a little bit of white wine to the sauce for a more complex flavor.
  • Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for a deeper flavor.
  • Serve the spaghetti immediately after it is cooked.
