Make the sauce

Whilst the pasta is cooking heat the oil in the frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot add the shallots and sauté for a minute, then add the garlic and sauté until tender.

Pour in the wine and simmer, whilst stirring continuously, until reduced by half. Shake the sauce to de-glaze the pan. Then stir in the cream and allow to simmer until the mixture has reduced by one-third.

When the sauce has reduced add the spinach, cheese and lemon juice. Mix together, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, mix again and remove from the heat. Take the pasta and drain into the colander.
