Description
This recipe adds a delightful twist to your pasta with the tangy taste of crumbled goat cheese. If you’re fond of creamy sauces, simply mix the cheese into the pasta along with the reserved cooking water.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 anchovy fillets
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- 1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
- 8 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta
- 2 bunches broccolini or 1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped almonds, toasted
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Grated lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
Step 1:
- Begin by boiling a large pot of water.
Step 2:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.
- Add anchovies, garlic, and crushed red pepper.
- Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant, pressing the anchovies with the back of a wooden spoon to break them up.
- Add spinach in two batches, cooking until just wilted, approximately 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Step 3:
- Add pasta and broccolini (or broccoli rabe) to the boiling water.
- Cook until just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remember to reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Drain and transfer the pasta and vegetables to the skillet.
- Toss to combine, adding enough reserved water to reach the desired consistency.
- Toss with parsley and salt, then serve topped with almonds and goat cheese. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
