Added: 18th August 2006
Ingredients
- 1 package (9 oz.) fresh linguine
- 1 Tbs. butter
- 1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
- 1 can (12-oz.) evaporated low-fat milk
- 3/4 C. (3 oz.) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 bag (6 oz.) fresh baby spinach (about 6 C.)
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly. Increase the heat to medium-high; bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the milk does not scorch. Reduce the heat; simmer 3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and stir in cheese, salt, and pepper. Combine the sauce, pasta, and spinach, tossing gently to coat. Serves 4.
