Ingredients:

Serving

1 (10 oz) fresh spinach , prewashed and drained
2 tbsp butter
3 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 lb dried linguine
5 oz cream cheese , cut into cubes
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Remove any tough stems from the fresh spinach.
In large frying pan, melt butter over low heat.
Add green onions and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add spinach and salt and stir until wilted.
Simmer until liquid evaporates from spinach, about 5 minutes.
In large pot of boiling water, cook linguini according to package directions.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
Drain linguini and toss with 3/4 cup of pasta water, spinach mixture, cream cheese, parsley, and ground pepper.
If sauce seems too thick, add the rest of the reserved pasta water, otherwise you can throw out the remaining 1/4 cup pasta water.
Salt to taste.
