Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta uncooked
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 cups baby spinach packed, fresh
- basil optional, fresh, chopped, 1 tablespoon
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil a salted pot of water and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. Important: reserve about a cup of the pasta water before you drain it! Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In the same pot you cooked the pasta in, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cooked pasta back into the pot. Stir in the goat cheese, parmesan, and lemon juice. Add a splash of the pasta water (a little at a time) and keep stirring/tossing until you've got a nice, creamy consistency.
- Add in the spinach (and basil if using) and toss with the pasta. Cover the pot for a minute or two to help the spinach wilt.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
- Goats cheese can be quite strong, so I only recommend making this recipe if you really like the stuff!
- I used a 4 ounce soft goat's cheese log for this recipe.
