Pasta alla Elise

Contributed byJanet Shaw
Pasta alla Elise: Linguine topped with sautéed spinach and diced tomatoes on a white plate.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fettuccini or other wider noodle
  • 8 ounce cream cheese (not whipped)
  • 10 ounce frozen chopped spinach (or fresh if you prefer)
  • 1 fresh tomato
Yield: 4 Servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Instructions

Cook noodles in boiling salted water. Before draining noodles, spoon off enough of the hot water into the cream cheese to make a sauce. Cook spinach and drain off excess liquid. Add tomato wedges to hot spinach. Prepare individual servings by spooning sauce over noodles and topping with spinach.

This recipe was prepared for me by my German sister-in-law while visiting in Italy. It is really just this simple, quick and delicious.
