Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup (245 g) whole milk
  • 1 cup (80 g) asiago cheese, grated, plus more for garnish
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh spinach leaves
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. I recommend al dente.
  2. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set the noodles and reserved pasta water aside while you prepare the asiago sauce.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
  4. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  5. Whisk in the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook until golden brown (about 1 minute).
  6. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly.
  7. Add in asiago, spinach, and ¼ cup of pasta water, or as needed if too thick. Cook until the spinach is wilted, stirring frequently (1-2 minutes).
  8. Add cooked pasta, tossing to coat.
  9. Garnish with asiago cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
