Spinach, Tomato, and Pine Nut Fettuccine

"This is an old favorite that my sister and I have been making for years! The simple, subtle flavors really allow fresh spring and summer produce to shine, making for a nice light alternative to heavily sauced pasta. You can really be creative here with the greens...try arugula, or chard, or even collards! The original recipe doesn't call for salt or pepper so feel free to leave them out, but I think it really adds a nice something. Enjoy!"

  1. Impeccable! The fresh clean flavors really shine in this lovely meal, we also really enjoyed that the tomatoes were just warmed without being fully cooked. Made as written using roasted garlic and the fresh cracked pepper option, this recipe is a true keeper. Thanks for the post.
     
  2. Delicioso! I loved the fresh flavors. Each ingredient really has the chance to be showcased..the fresh tomatoes, spinach, garlic, pine nuts. I also loved that this recipe was so quick and easy. This will go into my favorites. Grazie! Made during ZWT7 for the Golden Gourmets.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
