Spaghetti With Spinach And Garlic Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH SPINACH & GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, boil the kettle and tip the spinach into a large colander. Pour on boiling water until it's completely wilted (you may need 2 kettles of water), then cool under cold water and press the spinach into a ball, squeezing out all the water. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
• Very gently heat the oil and garlic in a small pan for a few mins until it just starts to brown, then add the vinegar. Bubble for 1 min, then turn off the heat. When the spaghetti is cooked, reserve some of the water, then drain. In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti with the garlicky oil, spinach, pine nuts and the grated Parmesan. Add enough water to loosen everything. Serve in bowls along with the Parmesan shavings and chilli flakes, plus more olive oil for drizzling.

SPINACH PARMESAN GARLIC BUTTER SPAGHETTI RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pan, add 1/2 butter and olive oil and heat on medium high until shimmery and lightly foamy.
• Add garlic and tomatoes and cook on medium until fragrant and soft - about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent from burning. Be careful as tomatoes may pop (which shoots hot tomato juice out - keep your arms out of the way.)
• Add spinach and stir, cook to wilted (about another 1-2 minutes).
• Add water and spaghetti to pan and turn heat all the way up.
• When most of the water or stock has cooked off and the spaghetti is cooked to almost al dente, add remaining butter and parmesan to pan, tossing noodles and tomatoes in the butter.
• Top with additional fresh grated parmesan and serve immediately.

GARLIC SPINACH SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving 2/3 cup of the pasta water, then set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
• Add about one-fourth of the cooked pasta to the pan, followed by one-fourth of the spinach, one-fourth of the Parmesan, one-fourth of the lemon juice and one-fourth of the lemon zest, stirring all the time until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Continue this process of adding the ingredients in quarters, with additions of pasta water as needed if the mixture becomes too dry, until the pasta, spinach, Parmesan, lemon juice and lemon zest have all been added.
• Sprinkle over more Parmesan and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed.

FASTEST PASTA WITH SPINACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, mince the garlic as finely as possible and combine it in the bottom of a warm bowl with the red pepper flakes, olives and olive oil.
• Place the pasta in the pot, and cook until it is nearly done (test it for doneness by tasting). Plunge the spinach into the water, and cook until it wilts, less than a minute. Drain quickly, allowing some water to cling to the pasta, and toss pasta and spinach in the bowl with the garlic and olive mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

CHEESY ROASTED GARLIC SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drizzle olive oil over the cut side of the spaghetti squash. Season with salt and black pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Place unpeeled garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil. Wrap aluminum foil around garlic, and place onto baking sheet next to the squash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow squash and garlic to rest until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on.
• Peel garlic and squeeze cloves into a large bowl. Smash with a fork until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion powder, basil, oregano, and parsley. Mix into a paste.
• Use a fork to scrape out spaghetti squash strands into the bowl, reserving the shells. Toss spaghetti squash strands with the garlic paste until thoroughly coated. Mix in spinach, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fill each reserved spaghetti squash shell evenly with the filling. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top. Return the filled shells to the baking sheet.
• Bake until cheeses melt, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil until cheeses begin to brown and bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH GARLICKY SPINACH AND BUTTERED PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
• After pasta has been cooking for about 2 minutes, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pistachios, garlic and capers and cook, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add spinach to skillet one handful at a time, season with salt and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 1 or 2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to the skillet along with 1/2 cup pasta water. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, tossing, until liquid reduces and coats the pasta, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with Parmesan.
