🧂 Ingredients

  • 💧 water, for boiling
  • 🧂 salt, to taste
  • 🧈 4 Tbsp (56 g) butter
  • 🌶 1 to 2 Tbsp chile crisp, plus more to taste
  • 🥛 1 cup (227 g) heavy cream
  • 🍞 1 lb dried fettuccine
  • 🥬 5 oz baby spinach
  • 🧀 ¾ cup (64 g) finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

🍳 Cookware

  • 🥘 1 large pot
  • 🥘 1 very large skillet or Dutch oven
  • 🔪 1 tongs

📝 Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt.

Step 2

While the water heats, melt the butter with the chile crisp in a very large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the heavy cream and keep warm over low. (It should steam, not bubble.)

Step 4

Cook the dried fettuccine until al dente according to the package directions. Use tongs to transfer the noodles to the cream mixture, reserving the pasta water.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach and turn with tongs until the noodles are well coated.

Step 6

Add the finely grated Parmesan and toss, still over low heat, until the noodles are slicked with a creamy sauce, adding a spoonful or two of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Step 7

Divide among serving dishes and top with more Parmesan and chile crisp if you'd like. Serve immediately.
