This recipe is from Family Feasts for $75 a Week by Mary Ostyn. It was a big hit with the fam. The kids ate themselves silly, including little Claire.
Spinach and Ricotta Pasta
1 lb cooked bowtie pasta
Spinach (either a bag of fresh spinach or a 10 oz package of frozen spinach, thawed)
1 cup ricotta cheese
Nutmeg
Black pepper
Cook spinach in a little olive oil until it wilts. Sprinkle with nutmeg and black pepper. Stir in a cup of ricotta cheese and heat through. Mix spinach and cheese with pasta. Done! We did sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top too because my kids LOVE cheese but you don't need it. Granted, everything was on sale but we came in under $5 for dinner and had a little (VERY little) leftovers. It is great in Lent when you are scrambling for meat-free meals.
