Spinach & Goat Cheese Pasta

In case you haven't noticed, I LOVE goat cheese. I could eat it on just about anything. I love finding and creating new recipes to incorporate it! So, here's my latest creation and it is super easy and deeeeeeelish.


Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 bag fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, from press or finely minced
4 ounces goat cheese
8 ounces fettuccine noodles (I used Fiber Gourmet www.fibergourmet.com)
Fresh black pepper
Kosher salt

Boil noodles according to package directions, with kosher salt in water, and drain. Meanwhile, heat olive oil and garlic in large pan. Once garlic is softer, add spinach. Cover with lid and then stir after 1 minute. Replace lid and cook for 2 more minutes. 

Once spinach is cooked add noodles and goat cheese. Will be easier to incorporate goat cheese if added in chunks or crumbles. Add pepper. Toss all together and enjoy! 

**I often make this same recipe with wheat noodles and/or with broccoli. It's delicious that way too!
