Description

Perfect for sunny spring and summer days, and done in half an hour!

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces, weight Spaghetti
  • ½ pounds Green Beans, Trimmed To 2-inch Pieces
  • ½ pounds Asparagus, Trimmed To 2-inch Pieces
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 3 whole Scallions, Thinly Sliced
  • 4 ounces, weight Grated Fontina Cheese
  • 3 cups Fresh Spinach, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cups Chopped Fresh Herbs (I Used A Combination Of Dill, Basil, And Parsley), Divided
  • Lemon Wedges For Serving

Preparation

Cook pasta to al dente in salted water according to package directions. Right before serving, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water. Drain pasta and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a skillet to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add green beans and asparagus and cook for 5 minutes, stirring as you go, until veggies have softened slightly. Add garlic and scallions and cook for 2 minutes more.

When spaghetti is cooked and veggie mixture is done, add pasta to the skillet with fontina, spinach, cream, Parmesan, and half of the herbs. Reduce the heat to low and splash in some of the pasta water.

Use tongs to toss the pasta together very well, tasting as you go and adding salt and pepper to your preference. Add more cooking water as needed so the cheese and cream evenly coat the pasta.

When the pasta is very flavorful and evenly mixed, the dish is done. Serve with the rest of the herbs, lemon wedges for spritzing, and extra Parmesan for sprinkling. Enjoy!
