Lemon Ricotta Pasta With Spinach
  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

  2. Sauté Garlic and Spinach: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.

  3. Make Ricotta Sauce: In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with spinach. Pour the ricotta mixture over the pasta, tossing gently to coat. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
