SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE SAUCE FOR PASTA



Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Sauce for Pasta image

This is lovely served on any pasta. I think it originally came from an old WW Pasta Cookbook, so it's fairly low in calories and it's so simple that even my boyfriend cooks it. It makes quite a 'dry' pasta sauce.

Categories     Sauces

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
500 g fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
120 g ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
15 g pine nuts, toasted
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable stock, powdered (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion on a gentle heat until soft but not browned.
  • Add the thyme, garlic (if using) and spinach.
  • Continue to cook on low heat until the spinach leaves have wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. If you're spinach was very wet and there is a lot of water in the pan, drain some off otherwise the sauce will be very runny. If you're not sure drain it into a separate bowl you can always add some later if you feel it's too thick.
  • Add the ricotta cheese and mix, using a wooden spoon, until it forms a smooth sauce.
  • Season, using nutmeg (I use more than stated above, but then I really like nutmeg), salt, freshly ground pepper and powdered vegetable stock to taste.
  • Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve straight away on your favourite pasta.
