Spinach and ricotta pasta

About This Recipe
Quick and easy spinach and ricotta pasta sauce in less time than it takes to cook the pasta.
Instructions
Method
-
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, or until al dente. Drain and reserve a cupful of the cooking water.
-
If using fresh spinach, cook it with a splash of water in a saucepan for 1–2 minutes, or until wilted, then leave to cool. Squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach using your hands and roughly chop.
-
Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Once foaming, add the spinach, garlic, cooked pasta and a splash of the pasta cooking water and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add more of the cooking water if needed. Add the ricotta and cook gently while mixing with two forks to break it up.
-
Season with the nutmeg, percorino, salt and pepper and serve.
