What You Need

1 pkg 10 oz (300 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3/4 lb (375 g) fettucini or
linguini pasta
2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, diced (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) dried basil

1 cup (250 ml) grated Canadian Parmesan cheese, divided
3 tbsp (45 ml) tomato paste
3/4 tsp (3 ml) salt
1/4 tsp (1 ml) ground nutmeg

Instructions

Place thawed spinach in a sieve. Remove water by firmly pressing the spinach with the back of a spoon or by squeezing with your hands. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, garlic and basil; cook 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour.

Gradually whisk in milk making sure there are no lumps. Stirring, bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 1 minutes. Stir in spinach, 1/2 cup (125 mL) Canadian Parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salt, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.

Toss sauce with fettucine. Serve with remaining Canadian Parmesan cheese.


Tips

A really simple supper. Make the sauce while the pasta cooks. Serve with crusty bread and the meal's complete.
