SPINACH ALFREDO SAUCE (BETTER THAN OLIVE GARDEN®)

Spinach Alfredo Sauce (Better than Olive Garden®) image

Better than Olive Garden®! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo everyone will love. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it! Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese.

FASTEST PASTA WITH SPINACH SAUCE

Fastest Pasta With Spinach Sauce image

The very best pasta is often the simplest. Jack Bishop, the author of "The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook," has refined his technique for pasta and vegetable sauce to breathtaking efficiency: He cooks the greens with the pasta and adds the seasonings at the last minute. While the pasta is cooking, Mr. Bishop prepares the seasonings. Allow at least a gallon of water to a pound of pasta, because you need a large pot to accommodate the greens and because, if there is too little water, the addition of the greens will slow the cooking too rapidly.

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)
About 15 calamata or other olives, pitted and roughly chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound long pasta, like linguine
1 pound spinach, washed, tough stems removed, roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.
