I made the basic recipe tonight (serves 4) for the DH and me and, with some steamed broccoli, this was dinner. It's going to definitely become part of our weeknight dinner rotation.
However (and doesn't anyone who creates a recipe just hate that word?!?) I added about 3 cups of roughly chopped spinach in the 45 seconds before I added the pasta to the pan so it could wilt a bit. Next time I make this, I'll add closer to 5 cups of spinach. After less than one minute of wilt time for the spinach, I transferred the cooked, al dente pasta (I used linguini) from its pot to the pan.
The DH and I liked this a lot. Next time I make it, I will use half and half to reduce the fat content (being VERY careful to temper it before I add it so the sauce doesn't break.) I'll also have some creme fraiche on hand in case additional thickening is needed.
I served this with steamed (5 minutes) broccoli florets. I added mine straight into my pasta. The DH ate his separately. This recipe is a winner and a good foundation for a lovely, easy weeknight family dinner.
