This is yummy:

Fusilli with Spinach and Asiago Cheese
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

1 pound fusilli pasta
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped
8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve.

Re: Please recommend your favorite pasta dish other then red sauces please!

1 pound ziti with no lines or ditalini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2-2 pounds ground veal, beef or chicken
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed of excess water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
A few grates of fresh nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
PreparationPre-heat the broiler.



Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring it up to a boil. Cook the pasta to al dente, according to package directions. Drain and reserve in the pot it was cooked in.

While the pasta is cooking, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of EVOO, about two turns of the pan. Add the ground meat to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until evenly browned throughout, about 6-7 minutes.

Add the onion and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until the onion has softened, 6-7 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute to heat through, then season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

While the onion is cooking, place a medium size pot over medium heat and melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook the mixture for about 1 minute. Whisk the milk into the butter-flour mixture and cook until the liquid has thickened up. Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Add the meat-onion mixture and the sauce to the pot with the cooked pasta and stir to evenly combine. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Place the dish under the broiler until the cheese is melted and golden brown.


its so good! I use skim milk and smart balance for butter...then add the spinach and whole wheat pasta, pretty healthy meal
