By



Looking for a quick meatless dinner? This creamy Ricotta and Spinach pasta is ready in just 15 minutes. It’s light, flavorful, and uses simple ingredients to create a silky sauce! 🇮🇹

Ingredients:
1 lb farfalle pasta
2 cloves garlic, smashed
6 oz fresh spinach
1 lb whole milk ricotta
Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Freshly grated nutmeg (small pinch)
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
1. Cook the farfalle in well-salted boiling water until just shy of al dente. Reserve some pasta water.
2. In a large pan, sauté smashed garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
3. Lower the heat and stir in the ricotta with a splash of pasta water until creamy.
4. Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss, adding more pasta water as needed to coat.
5. Turn off the heat, grate in Parmigiano Reggiano, toss, adjust seasoning, and serve.

    Just yesterday I bought some ricotta with the thought of "what can I do with this and spinach?" Thank you ~ this is perfect!

    I’m making this dish tonight for me and my daughter. My hubby likes pasta with only tomato sauces.

    I'm stealing all your recipes and putting them in a book for myself. People can't believe a 60-year-old Carpenter can pull off this kind of stuff. I let them in on a little secret. I told him I was schooled by the best Italian chef around.. Your recipes are so perfect and most of the time pretty easy.

    Nice! For almost all pasta + cheese + vegetable/legume dishes I feel a splash of lemon brings freshness. Sometimes zest, sometimes juice, sometimes both. I have made your recipes with peas, lentils, beans and this one, and all have benefited from adding lemon. It's not a must, I think it's a matter of creating more variation and adapting to what you are craving. If I want something hearty, soothing and comforting, I would not use lemon, if I want something more fresh and vibrant to cheer me up, I would use lemon.

    The fact that the recipe says 1 pound ricotta and the stores near me are selling in 15 oz containers 😑

    I made this tonight.
    It was absolutely delicious.
    I used 10 oz of the pasta, but added the same amount of spinach.
    The original recipe makes a ton.
    I didn't quite half the ricotta, but didn't use the full amount and it generously fed 3 people.
    Giovanni, you've done it again! 😊
    Thank you!
