Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup cheese, lemon zest, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a 4-quart Dutch oven, cook linguine in a large amount of boiling salted water according to package directions, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Return linguine to Dutch oven.
Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned, adding garlic in the last minute of cooking.
Step 4

Pour egg yolk mixture over linguine in Dutch oven. Add sausage and spinach; toss to coat. The heat from the pan and the linguine cooks and thickens the egg yolk, making a silky sauce. If needed, stir in enough reserved pasta cooking water to reach desired consistency. Toss with parsley.
Step 5

Serve immediately. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Cook's Notes:

You can substitute half-and-half for the whole milk.

Feel free to use kale or mustard greens in addition to, or in place of, the spinach.

This is a fantastic recipe. I made a few minor modifications. I used half-n-half in place of the milk kale in place of the spinach lots more garlic added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of diced onion with the sausage and added sliced green onion tops with the parsley. I cooked the linguine two minutes shy of al dente (9 min) as it finishes to al dente as you toss it with the sauce and a good splash (1/4 cup or so) of the pasta water. The sauce is very rich but the greens and lemon zest balance the richness. I will make this again! Read More

So the only downfall to this was the lemon zest. I did sub spaghetti noodles for the linguine bc I was out but that doesn’t make a taste difference. Anyway, I do plan to make this again minus the lemon zest and see how it goes. Will likely add a bit of crushed red pepper too. The sauce was a very pleasing creamy texture aside from the lemon zest skewing the flavor. Read More

I made this according the recipe except for adding more garlic (I always do). This was very flavorful but I think would like it better with crumbled Italian sausage as the kielbasa was a little overpowering. Update-made again-still think Italian sausage would be good-I think I m not crazy about the lemon zest-or maybe use a little less next time. I used whole milk but probably would be creamier with half-n-half. Read More

This recipe is very average. I will keep looking for another Swedish meatball recipe. Virtually no seasonings. I would not recommend. Read More

It's was okay! But I it needs more spice! I will probably use a different sausage next time as well. It's a work in progress but great start! Read More
