Ingredients

10 oz spinach
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
2/3 c whipping cream
1/2 c cream cheese
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground pepper
12 oz tagliatelle

Method

Wash and dry spinach and chop very finely. Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add garlic. Add spinach to pan and cook, stirring, 2 or 3 minutes or until wilted and tender.

Put whipping cream, cheese, salt and pepper into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken.

Meanwhile, cook tagliatelle in a large pan of boiling salted water as directed on package, until just tender. Drain pasta, reserving cooking water.

Add enough of cooking liquid to cream sauce to give a smooth pouring consistency. Pour onto pasta. Add spinach and toss to coat.

Top with parmesan and serve immediately.
