Easy

This pasta is a quick twist on the classic carbonara. Yep, extra vegetables in my dishes – you know it already! But don’t worry, you won’t be in the kitchen longer.
While the pasta cooks, you make the creamy cheese-spinach sauce and fry the guanciale. Then mix everything together, add extra cheese on top and… dig in! This is really soooo delicious and soooo quick to prepare. Love it!

Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 2P

150 g spaghetti or pasta of your choice
300 g frozen spinach (thawed, without additives)
2 cloves of garlic
2 egg yolks
150 g guanciale
100 g Pecorino Romano
Pepper and salt
Olive oil

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Fry the guanciale
Cut the guanciale into small pieces and fry them crispy in a pan. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cook the pasta
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Save a cup of cooking water before draining the pasta.

Make the creamy spinach sauce
Squeeze out the excess moisture from the spinach. Put the spinach, pressed garlic, egg yolks, grated Pecorino, pepper, and salt in a blender. Blend until creamy and add a splash of pasta water to make the sauce smooth.

Combine everything
Put the pasta back in the pan and mix in the sauce. Heat briefly over low heat – do not let it boil, or the sauce will curdle! You can add some extra pasta water for a smoother texture.

Finish & serve
Top with the crispy guanciale, extra Pecorino, and a splash of olive oil. Serve immediately!
