To a blender, add spinach, water, basil, garlic, shallot and salt. Blend until smooth. Strain, you’ll have about 4 cups of liquid.
Add oil to a pan and toast the pasta on medium-high for 2 minutes, until slightly golden.
Add the spinach-basil water 1 cup at a time to the pasta, letting each cup slightly absorb. Add a bit of salt and pepper and simmer until paste is al dente, about 9-12 minutes. There will be water left over.
Add parmigiano and lemon zest. Cook mixing together for 1 more minute.
Turn off the heat and add the butter. Taste and add salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve topped with more parmigiano, mascarpone, chives, black pepper and that is it!
