400 g spaghetti

30 g grated Parmesan cheese
Zest of 1 lemon

1
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.
3
Add the minced garlic and chopped red chilli to the pan, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
4
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.
