I always like a white sauce with my pasta. I've discovered a very good sauce here with mascarpone and Swiss chard that you have to try too. It's very easy to cook and vegetarian:

Preparation
Wash the Swiss chard and cut into bite-sized pieces, peel the garlic and cut into slices. Heat butter, olive oil, and nutmeg in a pot. Then add the Swiss chard, let it sauté for a few minutes, then add the garlic. The Swiss chard should have taken on a nice, rich green color.
Add the mascarpone and the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it come to a boil briefly.
Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions. Grate the Parmesan and sprinkle over the sauce and the pasta.
Variations: Instead of Swiss chard, you can also use spinach.
Tips & Notes
To make the sauce even creamier, add a little pasta water.
