Pasta with Spinach Sauce

Tagliatelle & spaghetti are one of my favorite types of pasta. Together with a creamy spinach sauce, they form a tasty & full-bodied vegetarian pasta dish.

The spinach sauce is cooked super fast & consists mainly of milk & leaf spinach. The sauce is only seasoned with nutmeg & a pinch of salt and pepper. Have fun cooking!

…for the spinach sauce:

Heat up a saucepan adding a dash oil & sweat onions & garlic over medium heat for about 2 – 3 minutes until glassy, stirring occasionally.




Next, add 400 grams frozen spinach leafs & allow to defrost over medium heat, stirring from time to time. Once the spinach is completely fallen apart, pour in 400 milliliters milk, give everything a good stir & then bring to a boil.

Allow the sauce to simmer for a few seconds, then remove from heat & puree with a blender for about 1 minute until you got a creamy & thick consistency.




Drain the done tagliatelle pasta over a collander & serve pasta along with the spinach sauce on deep plates. Finally garnish the pasta with a halved & cooked egg & serve. Delicious. I wish you lots of fun cooking 😉
