Ingredients

Method

In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water, drain pasta.  

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, in batches, and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer spinach mixture to blender; add basil, lemon zest and juice, and cream and purée until smooth. 

Pour purée into skillet. Add pasta and toss, adding enough of the reserved cooking water to evenly coat pasta. Reheat for
1 minute. Sprinkle with Parmesan, hot pepper flakes and basil leaves, if using.
