Fettuccine with spinach sauce
Also called: fettuccine with spinach sauce, fettuccine spinach, spinach fettuccine, fettucine spinach sauce, fettuccine al spinaci, fetuccine with palak sauce
Fettuccine with spinach sauce is that creamy, cosy pasta you’d happily order at an Italian café or eat at home when you want something comforting. The palak-style spinach sauce gives it a nice earthy taste, while cream, cheese, and butter make it rich and smooth — very chai-time comfort, but in pasta form.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This dish has spinach, so you get a bit of fiber, folate, vitamin C, and some iron support from the greens. The olive oil, garlic, and pepper can be easy on digestion for many people, but the cream, cheese, and butter make it heavier and slower to digest, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. The 2.1g fiber per plate is quite low, so it won’t keep your gut very full on its own. Best pairing? Add a side salad or some sautéed veggies so the meal feels lighter and your digestion gets a little more help.
