Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped (toast walnuts in a single layer on an unoiled baking tray in a oven at 350* for about 5 minutes , unt)
- grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
- Bring a large covered pot of water to a rapid boil.
- While the water heats, wash the spinach and transfer it to a separate large pot.
- The water clinging to the leaves should provide enough moisture to steam it.
- Cover and cook the spinach on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, until wilted but still bright green.
- Drain.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the spinach, walnuts, cottage cheese, garlic, Parmesan, basil, and salt and puree until smooth, working in batches if necessary.
- Add pepper to taste and set aside.
- When the water boils, stir in the pasta, cover, and return to a boil.
- Then uncover the pot and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 7 minutes.
- While the pasta cooks, cut the broccoli into spears, blanch it in boiling water to cover until just tender, about 5 minutes, and set it aside.
- Drain the pasta and serve immediately in individual warmed bowls, topped with spinach-walnut sauce and several steamed broccoli spears.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if you wish.
- Enjoy!
