Pasta Recipe with Snap Peas, Basil, and Spinach - One Pot Dinner - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey
It's true: Boiling water and a bit of stirring are the only techniques you need to make today's one-pot recipe. I love that! I also love that it tastes like so much more work than it is. You can convince people you spent hours blanching the bright vegetables and making the light-yet-creamy sauce.... I won't tell!
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Because it's mid-March and spring is almost here (can you believe it?) we're going to use some spring produce: snap peas, basil, and spinach. Cook those with some short pasta, such as penne or gemelli, then toss with heavy cream and some grated Parmesan to make a quick creamy sauce. Watch the video and I'll show you my favorite two-second trick for adding flavor to your pasta as it boils. You'll use it all the time!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound short pasta, such as gemelli
3 garlic cloves, halved
8 ounces snap peas, halved
10 ounces baby spinach
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 ounces Parmesan, grated (3/4 cup)
Directions
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta and garlic 1 minute less than package instructions. Add snap peas and cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and basil and stir once to wilt. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Add cream to pot and heat over medium-high until bubbling. Return pasta mixture and 1/4 cup pasta water to pot and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. If necessary, add remaining pasta water to create a light sauce that coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook's Note: One Pot - Cooking the vegetables along with the pasta makes for easy cleanup.
