Ingredients
Instructions
-
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Season protein with salt and pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side (adjust for thickness) until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
-
2. In the same pot, cook minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in broth, scraping the bottom to lift flavorful bits.
-
3. Add pasta, cream, and a pinch of salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce thickens (about 12 minutes).
-
4. Stir in fresh spinach and Parmesan cheese. Cook 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts and cheese melts into the sauce.
-
5. Slice or flake the protein and fold back into the pasta. Add lemon juice and zest, adjusting seasoning if needed.
