Recipe: Linguine and Spinach a la Lesley Wilson (aka Pasta on the Fridge)

LINGUINE AND SPINACH A LA LESLEY WILSON
(aka Pasta on the Fridge)

"We call this "Pasta on the fridge" only because that's where we stuck the recipe from Lesley so we wouldn't lose it!"

1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup sliced celery
1 (8 ounce) package linguine, broken into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbsp. butter
3 cups chicken stock
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Saute carrot, onion and celery in butter until crisp-tender.

Add linguine and cook until pasta begins to brown.

Add chicken stock and garlic. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Place spinach in top of pasta and cover and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese, wine and crusty bread!
