Ingredients

16 oz. thin spaghetti

1/4 cup walnuts

1/4 lb. cream cheese (4 oz.), cut into cubes

1 cup fresh basil leaves

3 cups fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tbsp. chopped onion

1 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. olive oil

Grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups grilled chicken or steak, cut in strips (optional)

Preparation

  1. Bring two quarts of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until done to your liking. Drain the spaghetti.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, add the remaining ingredients (except the Parmesan and meat) to a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.

  3. Warm the sauce over low heat in a saucepan for a few minutes, or in a microwave. If using chicken or steak, either cook them fresh, or warm the leftovers in a microwave.

  4. Toss the sauce with the pasta (and optional sliced meat) in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle Parmesan on each serving.
