"Lemony Spinach and Goats Cheese Linguini" BY Drizzle & Dip

I'm  apparently really hungry today..  I do post frequently but that's because I spend a lot of time searching the Internet! Welcome to my life. So without further ado, here's the recipe:

"Recipe | serves 2

-200 g wholewheat linguini
-200g baby leaf spinach
-1 cup of flat leaf parsleyzest of a lemon
-1–2 T of lemon juice
-125g goats cheese / chevin
-1 free range egg lightly beaten
-1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-handful of toasted walnuts

Bring a large pot of salty water to the boil and add your linguini.

While this is cooking, put your spinach in a bowl, roughly chop the parsley and add the grated lemon zest to the greens.

When the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving about 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid. This forms the base of the sauce.

Put the pot back on the heat with 1 cup of the pasta water and add the goats cheese. Using a whisk  break this up and incorporate it in the water.

Add the greens and the lemon juice to the liquid and toss around. The spinach will immediately start to whilt. Add the pasta to the pot and stir everything together.

Add the egg to the pasta with the Parmesan cheese which will thicken the sauce. Check the seasoning and add salt if necessary (although you probably wont need to as the salt water and goats cheese will contribute enough). It needs a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle over the toasted walnuts.

* Inspired by this recipe on Martha Stewart 

Serve straight away with a chilled Chardonnay or a crisp Sauvignon blanc."
