Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 ounce package fusilli pasta
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • ½ cup Gorgonzola cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilli in boiling water, occasionally stirring, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallots until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add spinach and crumble in Gorgonzola cheese. Season with salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted and sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
  3. Drain fusilli and toss with sauce. Serve immediately.
