Preparation
Boil the pasta
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.- Reserve the pot.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and mince the shallot.
- Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pot, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium.
- Add the shallot and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant.
- Add the lemon juice, ½ the reserved cooking water and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Combine the pasta
- To the pot, add the pasta, spinach and ½ the cheese.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through and the spinach has wilted.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Garnish with the remaining cheese and the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
