Ingredients

2 shallots, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

200 g cream cheese

1 tbsp dried Italian herbs

3 tbsp lemon juice

400 g spaghetti

100 g baby spinach

30 g grated Parmesan cheese

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Method

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the minced garlic and chopped red chilli to the pan, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Mix in the dried Italian herbs and lemon juice, and cook for 2 minutes.

Stir in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving a cup of pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

Serve the spaghetti in bowls, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.
