A delightful pasta dish combining creamy spinach with aromatic herbs for a comforting meal.
Prepare the spinach by removing any tough stems and washing it thoroughly.
Using fresh spinach ensures a vibrant flavor and texture.
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Butter adds a rich flavor; ensure it doesn't brown.
Add the scallions and tarragon to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes.
Sautéing releases the aromatic oils of the herbs.
Add the spinach and salt, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Cook until the spinach is just wilted to retain its nutrients.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
Reserve some pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency.
Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the spaghetti.
Pasta water contains starch that helps bind the sauce.
Combine the spinach mixture, cream cheese, parsley, Parmesan, and black pepper with the spaghetti, adding reserved pasta water as needed.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
