Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces elbow macaroni, or penne, or shell pasta, cooked
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 ounce fresh basil, chopped
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup non-fat milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice, and zest of 1/2 lemon, optional
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste, optional
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown.
  • Add spinach and basil to the skillet and stir until wilted.
  • Then add ricotta cheese and milk (and optional lemon juice and zest) to skillet and stir well.
  • Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup or so of the cooking water.
  • Combine cooked pasta and ricotta mixture in a large bowl. If it is too thick, add a bit of the cooking water to the mixture.
  • Serve immediately with some freshly ground black pepper and an optional 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese per serving.

  • In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to instructions until al dente (I like to under-cook it 3 or 4 minutes as it will cook more in the oven). Drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add olive oil and sauté garlic. Add chopped spinach, salt, pepper and crushed tomatoes. Season with basil, oregano, salt and pepper and cook 5 minutes.
  • Add sauce to the pasta and combine. Add half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and ricotta. Mix well then transfer to the baking pan.
