Spinach Pappardelle

Submitted by kolibri

"Creamy and delicious pasta that vegetarians and carnivores alike love. You can also divide the pasta into serving plates after step three, and instead of mixing the yolks etc. you can put them into little piles on the pasta - looks very pretty. Original recipe is from Conrad Gallagher's "In 3 easy Steps" cookbook."

Creamy and rich. Very good. I added a little more wine because my dish got a little dry. I used more spinach than indicated. Very good side dish. I will use this again. Thank you.

I love this! I made this for a side dish for dinner tonight and I was lucky enough to get a taste of it, my DH and DS devoured it as soon as I placed it on the table, I did a few amount adjustments just to suit our tastes, this will be going on regular rotation at my house, this is a really great dish and I thank you for sharing kolibri!...Kitten :)

I am not as industrious as Fairy Nuff so I purchased my pasta from the market… and it was still fabulous!!! I did purchase pasta from the refrigerated section so it was pretty close to fresh pasta. This recipe is so easy to make and the results are positively scrumptious! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used Romano instead of parmesan. Wonderful recipe my Sistah!!! Thanks for sharing!

What an excellent pasta dish. I followed this recipe almost to the letter...my only change was to cut the egg yolks to two and increase the cream to 1/3 cup :) . I reduced the cream so as not to make the sauce runnier than it should have been. I used sugarpea's recipe #71623 for the pasta. Thanks kolibri for an outstanding recipe!
