Pasta with Spinach Cream Sauce

This cream sauce can actually be made without any butter or cream. Potato starch flour gives it a smooth creaminess (I find that wheat flour gives a grainy consistency).

1 small onion
5-10 cloves garlic
1 package frozen spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups milk
1 tbsp. potato starch flour
salt, nutmeg, crushed red pepper, and black pepper (to taste)
prepared pasta

1. Chop onions and garlic.

2. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until soft.

3. Add potato starch flour and stir for a few seconds. Slowly add milk, stirring to incorporate. Cook milk for a few minutes until thick and bubbly.

4. Add frozen spinach (directly from package) and stir until spinach is completely thawed and incorporated into cream sauce.

5. Add a pinch of nutmeg, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper.

6. Add prepared pasta and cook for a few minutes with sauce.
