some olive oil for frying
28 oz. (800g) Knöpfle pasta (refrigerated)
1 large red onion, finely diced
2-3 garlic cloves, finely diced
5.3 oz. (150g) baby spinach
1 dash of white wine
7 oz. (200g) heavy cream
5.3 oz. (150g) Gorgonzola, diced

Instructions
1. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Wash and drain the baby spinach. Roughly dice the Gorgonzola.
2. Heat up two large frying pans with a little olive oil each. Add the pasta to one of the pans and cook it over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes.
3. In the second frying pan, sauté the onion and garlic until soft and glossy. Add the spinach and let it wilt down. Deglaze with a dash of white wine, then add the heavy cream and Gorgonzola. Stir well and let the cheese melt completely. Season with some freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper. If the sauce is too thin, thicken it with a little cornstarch (dissolved in water).
