I was inspired by the palak paneer I've been making recently to loosely adapt its method to a pasta dish, since that's what I was craving at the time. It came out súper good and easy so I'm going to keep making it often!

1

Prepare a pot of boiling water and cook pasta. Be prepared to reserve a small amount of pasta water at the end of the cook time.
2

While that's starting, heat olive oil in a pan and fry onion and garlic on medium to medium-low heat. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Stir occasionally.
3

Once the onion and garlic have slightly browned, add the tomato and basil. Cook until the tomato breaks down and becomes jammy.
4

Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, 1-3 minutes. Then add the cream or cashews and reduce heat to low.
5

Once that's simmered for a few minutes, transfer to a blender and blend. Then return to the pan.
6

Add pasta water and parmesano to the sauce now to bind it and give it flavor. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chili flakes.
7

When pasta finished cooking, strain and add to pan with sauce. Toss to coat and serve. Garnish with chili flakes and more parmesano.

Spinach and Mushroom Cream Pasta Spinach and Mushroom Cream Pasta

Since I love pasta, I'm always trying to recreate the taste found in restaurants.If you do things efficiently, you can prepare the sauce while the pasta is boiling. Asparagus, broccoli, and shrimp are also great additions.When increasing the amounts to serve more than 2 people, also increase the boiling time in Step 4 by a few minutes! For serving 1.

Chicken Tomato Cream Pasta Chicken Tomato Cream Pasta

I really liked the taste of Chicken Tomato Cream in, so I decided to make a pasta version, adding bacon and soy sauce.Stir-frying the garlic until fragrant, and fry the chicken and bacon until well browned for optimal flavor.It's rather rich, so you can lighten the sauce by diluting the cream with milk (4:1, for example).White wine is good, but if you don't have any, use sake.

In my house, everyone is obsessed with this dish. I make it regularly now. I was inspired by my favoritel italian restaurant who serves the best pastas (I'm biased). This sauce is pretty close to their ravioli sauce that I LOVE. I typically make herb chicken or shrimp to go with this. But the pasta alone is wonderful!
