Original recipe sourced from Eating Well: Creamy Lemon-Garlic Spaghetti with Spinach.

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:

    • Divide the creamy lemon-garlic spaghetti among serving plates. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, if desired.
