Creamy Spinach Pasta

Ingredients:

3 servings Linguini (or other pasta of your choice)
2 cups packed fresh spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (equals to 2 fresh cloves garlic)
1/2 pint whipping cream (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
Feta Cheese to garnish... about 1/3 cup depending on how much you want.


Directions:

Cook pasta per instructions on package. Melt butter in a saucepan and add the flour, mixing until creamy. Slowly add the whipping cream, minced garlic, and salt while whisking. Cook over medium heat continuing to whisk until creamy. In a separate pan, sauté the spinach in olive oil until wilted (just a few minutes). Add to sauce before serving and mix well. Add any additional flour to thicken more if desired (will thicken upon standing too). Pour sauce over pasta and garnish with Feta Cheese. Serve with cheesy garlic toast.

Yields 2 large or 3 regular servings
