Ingredients

• 12 ounces whole-grain spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil (see our canna-oil recipe)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused butter (see our canna-butter recipe)
• 6 cups baby spinach
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the Spaghetti:

   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a large skillet, heat the cannabis-infused olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and lemon zest, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. Add Lemon Juice and Cream:

   • Stir in the lemon juice and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

4. Incorporate Spinach:

   • Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

5. Combine with Pasta:

   • Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency. Stir in the cannabis-infused butter until melted and well combined.

6. Add Cheese and Season:

   • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.

7. Serve:
