Creamy Mascarpone and Spinach Linguine

Enjoyed this and happy to see how low-cal it is for a pasta dish. To suit our tastes, omitted lemon juice and nutmeg, and added a little crushed red pepper in step 2. The lemon rind added enough lemon flavor for us. Leftovers were good the next day, although the sauce had pretty well dried up.

My girls and I loved it for meatless monday and I have one very picky girl. I didn't use mushrooms. Super fresh tasting b/c of the lemon. I'd like to try it with whole wheat pasta next time - and see what happens

A light, tasty pasta dish. A bit more time intensive than I had thought, but worth it. Another nice aspect to this dish is I had all but the mascarpone and fresh pasta on hand, including being able to use the last of my own tomatoes and basil. It seemed like the sauce was a bit skimpy so I did add in another Tbs of all cheeses. Also added two cups of rotisserie chicken left from another meal and upped the spinach to make it a "one dish meal" for my hubby and adult son. Because it isn't dinner here without meat!
