Shrimp, Leek & Spinach Pasta

Ingredients

2 leeks (white and light green parts only), cut into half-

10 ounces baby spinach (about 12 cups)

Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the leeks, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks have softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the shrimp and lemon zest and cook, tossing frequently, until the shrimp is opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Add the cream and ½ teaspoon salt to the pasta in the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp mixture and the spinach and toss to combine.
