Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz rigatoni cooked al dente

Method
 

  1. On medium high heat, melt the butter with some olive oil. Add the diced onion and 1 teaspoon of salt, sautéing for 5 minutes until the onion turns soft and translucent.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and let it cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 3 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens further.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, and fresh spinach. Simmer until the spinach wilts, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy spinach sauce.
  6. Serve & Enjoy!
