I came up with this one a number of years ago and it was published in CL's reader recipes. I must be honest-when I make it I increase the blue cheese some and add crisped prosciutto on the top. Yummy!!!
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
1 1/3 cups tomatoes, chopped and seeded
1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
8 cups rigatoni pasta (about 16oz. uncooked)
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
Directions:
1. Cook rigatoni in boiling water, drain, and keep warm.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute.
3. Add spinach, tomato, and broth; cook 3 minutes (or until spinach is wilted), stirring occasionally.
4. Combine spinach mixture, pasta, cheese, and pine nuts in a large bowl; toss well to coat.
