Penne with Spinach Sauce

I think I've mentioned before that we don't get cable at our house. We live out of the area. So no Food Network for me. How have I survived?

When I took Acelia in for her piano lesson Barbara had Food Network on so I got really comfortable on the couch with a cup of tea and got a quick fix.

This is the result..........

1 pound of penne

3 garlic cloves (a little much for me I would cut this down to one or two)

2 oz. of cream cheese

1 oz. of goat cheese (I just used 3oz. of cream cheese)

3/4 tsp. of salt

1/2 tsp. fresh pepper

1 bag of baby spinach

Lot's of Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to the directions. While pasta is cooking.....Add cream cheese, goat cheese, salt, pepper, and 1/2 the spinach leaves to a food processor and blend till smooth and creamy. Set aside till pasta is done. Continue with directions below.

Add 1/2 the spinach to a large bowl

When pasta is done, drain (reserve 1 cup of the pasta water) and put cooked pasta on top of spinach leaves.

Add the spinach puree and mix till pasta is coated, add a little water at a time till pasta is smooth and creamy. Top with lots and lots of Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Talk about comfort food. :)

Someday I am going to Italy!
