Ricotta Lemon Pasta

I've probably posted this recipe before, but it's just so darn good I had to post it again. And it's especially easy as it uses a no-cook sauce!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb spaghetti

1 cup ricotta

1 cup chopped fresh spinach

1/3 cup parmesan

1 lemon, zest and juice

1 lemon to serve

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsps minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup reserved pasta water

In a medium bowl, simply whisk the ricotta, olive oil, parmesan, garlic, lemon zest and juice together with about 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the pasta to al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then add the spinach. Cook 1 minute then drain. Return the spaghetti and spinach to the pot and add the ricotta sauce. Add the pasta water and keep stirring until smooth. 

Plate and serve with lemon wedges.

Serves 3
