SPINACH, TOMATO, AND PINE NUT FETTUCCINE



Spinach, Tomato, and Pine Nut Fettuccine image

This is an old favorite that my sister and I have been making for years! The simple, subtle flavors really allow fresh spring and summer produce to shine, making for a nice light alternative to heavily sauced pasta. You can really be creative here with the greens...try arugula, or chard, or even collards! The original recipe doesn't call for salt or pepper so feel free to leave them out, but I think it really adds a nice something. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, tomatoes, and pine nuts will give your fettuccine the best flavor.
  • Cook the fettuccine al dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked fettuccine will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the spinach and tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve immediately: Fettuccine with spinach, tomatoes, and pine nuts is best served immediately. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spinach, tomato, and pine nut fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
