Do you ever wait at the last minute to decide what you are going to cook for dinner?
Well, I am a planner, but sometime it does happen to me too.
The good thing is that I can usually come up with something fast and easy.
Last night I used ricotta and spinach to create this delicious dish.
1 cup of ricotta
1 package frozen spinach (10-12oz)
couple of cloves of garlic
Cook the spinach in 2T of olive oil and garlic
for 5 minutes.
When done,turn the heat off and add the ricotta.
When done,turn the heat off and add the ricotta.
When draining the pasta, save at least 1cup of the cooking water.
Add ricotta and spinach to pasta, and add some of the hot cooking water if it seems too dry. (but sometime is not necessary)
Serve with Parmesan cheese.
Buon Appetito

and used in pasta dishes as well.***

I'd love it! My guys who think cooked spinach is poison (Though they eat it raw--go figure) wouldn't eat it in a million years. Men!!

This looks so good....fast and easy my kind of meal!
Delicious! Another quick, easy and delicious recipe!
That looks really good, Dani. I like those fast fixes for the days you are short on time- YUM!!! xo Diana
Yum! You are always whipping up something good and healthy in the kitchen. I would love that I bet. Will probably wouldn't like the spinach in it though. I hope he'll eventually eat it since it's so good for you. His older brother (Cody) eats everything now, so there is still hope for Will. LOL!
I'm definitely trying this one, easy, quick and ingredients I love! Thanks Dani!
Daniela I'm making this over the weekend...it looks soooooo good!!
LOVE ricotta!
Looks yummy. I will be trying this.
Yummy recipe, Dani. You're quite the chef. My last- minute-meals usually consist of something in the microwave. This looks like something from the Olive Garden. :)
XOXO,

I'm pinning this. Will definitely be making soon. I am not a fly by the seat of your pants type. I have to plan our meals out otherwise we'd be eating cereal. Thanks for sharing.
