Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ small yellow onion chopped in small cubes
- 75 g sliced pancetta or bacon diced
- 2 garlic cloves ground, finely grated or puréed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 100 g baby spinach well washed and chopped
- 50 g parmesan cheese freshly and finely grated
- 200 g pasta I used spaghetti
Instructions
- Pre heat a pan over medium heat. At the same time, fill a large pot with water and salt and bring it to a boil for the pasta. Once it boils, cook the pasta.
- Add the olive oil, onion, pancetta and cook them until the onion goes soft, smells sweet and everything starts to become golden.
- Add the garlic cloves and stir constantly. I used confit garlic but you can use fresh as well. Add salt and pepper to taste. If your pasta still needs a bit more time to cook, turn off the heat to wait for it.
- Once the pasta is very al dente (it will finish cooking in the pan), turn on the pan again and add it to the pancett and onion.
- Along with the pasta, add the spinach and parmesan cheese as well as about a cup of the pasta water. This water has a bit of flour and helps us bind everything together.
- Mix everything together and let it all come together over the heat. Once ready, serve immediately with grated parmesan cheese.
