Recipe Details
Elevate your pasta night with Nuovo Pasta’s Linguine, perfectly paired with tender golden artichokes and fresh baby spinach. This easy yet elegant dish brings together the richness of Pecorino Romano and the natural sweetness of artichokes, balanced by the earthy notes of spinach. Cooked in extra virgin olive oil and finished with a creamy pasta sauce, this meal is a delightful blend of flavors ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 Pack (9 oz.) Nuovo Pasta Long Cut Linguine
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz Jar artichoke quarters
- 1 Garlic clove, finely chopped
- 5 oz Baby spinach
- Salt to taste for pasta water and sauce
- 1/4 Cup pasta water
- 4 Tablespoons Pecorino Romano, grated
Directions
- Bring a pot of water (4 quarts) to a boil over high heat.
- While water is heating, chop garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Drain the artichokes and add to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, turning once, until golden on each side. Add garlic and cook for one minute; then add baby spinach. Initially, the baby spinach will tower high in the pan, but with heat it will quickly soften and reduce in size. Stir occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt (to taste).
- Once the pasta water has reached a rapid boil, add salt and then the linguine. Cook according to package directions.
- When pasta is ready, reserve ¼ cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Return linguine to the pot, add reserved pasta water along with half of the artichoke-spinach mixture, and stir over low heat for a minute or so.
- Remove pot from heat and add most of the Pecorino Romano cheese, stirring until the sauce is slightly creamy and all the flavors are well-incorporated.
- Transfer to a platter or portion onto individual plates. Top with the rest of the artichoke-spinach sauce and serve immediately, adding more grated Pecorino Romano to taste.
