Equipment

Ingredients

12 oz linguine
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic {minced}
1/4 cup white cooking wine
3/4 cup chicken broth {sub in vegetable broth if needed}
1 tbsp lemon zest {~1 large lemon}
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
5.2 oz Boursin cheese {any of their flavors}
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup shredded Parmesan

Instructions

In a large saucepan bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil.
Add linguine noodles and cook until al dente, ~8-10 minutes. Make the sauce while the pasta cooks.
12 oz linguine
Drain all but ~1/2 cup of water from the linguine. Set aside.
In a large deep frying pan, sauté olive oil and garlic over medium-low heat ~2 minutes.
2 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves garlic
Slowly whisk in white wine, chicken broth, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
1/4 cup white cooking wine, 3/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Add Boursin, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
5.2 oz Boursin cheese
Whisk occasionally until the Boursin melts into the sauce.
Cook until the sauce has slightly thickened a bit (~3 minutes)
Reduce heat to low and add the cooked linguine noodles, ¼ cup pasta water, and baby spinach to the sauce.
2 cups baby spinach
Use tongs to combine the pasta and sauce. Cook for 1 minute. If the sauce is getting too thick, slowly add additional pasta water 1 tbsp at a time as needed.
Top pasta with shredded Parmesan.
1 cup shredded Parmesan

Notes

Noodles - I used linguine but anything that is long and thin will work (spaghetti, angel hair, fettuccine).
Gluten-free - use your favorite gluten-free pasta.
Plant-based- if you need to make this plant-based, use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock, buy dairy-free Boursin cheese (yes, they make it!), and leave out the Parmesan.
