Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbs grated Parmesan (or Romano cheese)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (OR 1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach, squeezed almost dry)
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 8 oz uncooked fettuccine (OR linguine)

Instruction

  • Cook pasta according to package direction. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute; do not let it brown.
  • Add the ricotta, milk and grated cheese. Add salt and pepper—but taste first before adding as you may not need it. If sauce seems to thick, add some of the reserved pasta water.
  • Add the spinach and cook until it wilts. Stir in red pepper flakes (if using)
  • Serve over the cooked pasta.
