Preparation
Sauté the spinach
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the onions and garlic. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant.
- Add the spinach and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until just wilted; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, small-dice the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
- Crush the croutons into crumbs.
Boil the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ¼ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
- To the pan, add the mascarpone, cream and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Reduce to medium and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the cheese has melted.
- Add the pasta and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Finish & serve
- To the pan, add the tomatoes.
- Divide the pasta between your plates.
- Garnish with the croutons. Bon appétit!
