Spaghetti with Creamy Spinach and Tarragon Recipe

Remove any tough stems from the spinach.

In a large frying pan, melt the butter over moderately low heat.

Add the scallions and tarragon, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add the spinach and salt, and stir until wilted.

Simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates from the spinach.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti for about 12 minutes until just done.

Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.

Drain the spaghetti and toss with ¾ cup of the reserved pasta water, the spinach mixture, the cream cheese, parsley, parmesan, and pepper

If the sauce seems too thick, add more of the reserved pasta water.
