Linguine with bacon, spinach and pine nuts in a creamy garlic sauce. The only change I would make is to cut back on the amount of cream cheese, to me, it almost overpowered the garlic flavor. I will make it again though, very good. Ingredients:
1 lb uncooked linguine |
1/2 lb bacon, diced |
5 cups fresh spinach |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 1/4 cups milk |
8 ounces cream cheese (light is what i used) |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Cook linguine according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 T. drippings.
3. In the drippings, sauté the spinach, onion, garlic until tender.
4. Add the milk, cream cheese, butter, salt, nutmeg and pepper; stir until smooth.
5. Stir in pine nuts and bacon; heat through. Drain pasta; toss with sauce.
