In my last post I showed you how easy it is to make your own Cornflour Tagliatelle, which has so much more flavour than shop-bought. In this post, Cornflour Pasta with Creamy Spinach and Bacon, I´m using some of that pasta accompanied by a simple but extremely tasty sauce.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 200 g bacon bits
- 1 large spring onion, chopped
- 200 g frozen spinach, thawed
- Italian herbs
- 175 ml cooking cream
- 3 large handfuls of dried cornflour tagliatelli
Method
- Fry the bacon bits in a small glug of oil until they start to brown
- Remove the bacon and scrape the base of the pan to remove any burned bacon pieces. Add a large glug of oil and the onions. Stir well.
- Fry the onions for 5 – 10 minutes until they soften and start to colour.
- Add the spinach, a good shake of Italian herbs and the cream.
- Turn down the heat and cook gently for a further 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, boil the pasta for 3-4 minutes until it is al dente.
- Serve with Parmiggiano (and Extra Virgin olive oil, according to taste)
Enjoy!
Home-made pasta with a sauce using five simple ingredients. You just cannot beat it! I´m a great fan of pasta with all types of sauce, so in future posts I will be sharing a few tomato-based pasta dishes that I´ve been making for a long, long time.
