Ingredients
- 300 g Farm Boy™ Spaghetti Artisan Pasta
- 1/4 cup Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
- 4 cloves garlic peeled, thinly sliced
- 1 pack Farm Boy™ Ricotta Cheese
- 2/3 cup shredded Parmigiano Reggiano cheese divided
- zest and juice of one large lemon
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cups fresh arugula or baby spinach
- 1/3 cup Farm Boy™ Sundried Tomatoes diced
Directions
- Cook Farm Boy™ Spaghetti Artisan Pasta in plenty of salted boiling water according to package directions, but make sure it’s al dente. Save 1 cup of the pasta cooking water for the sauce. Drain pasta but don’t rinse it.
- While pasta cooks, make the sauce: In a large bowl, combine Farm Boy™ Ricotta Cheese, 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/2 cup Parmigiano cheese, zest and lemon juice, and salt and black pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat remaining 2 Tbsp Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat and cook garlic until soft and starting to get golden, about 2 minutes.
- Add ricotta mixture to skillet and stir in spinach and Farm Boy™ Sundried Tomatoes. Stir until spinach softens and add some of the reserved pasta water to create a smooth sauce. You will need about 1/4 cup or a bit more if sauce is too thick.
- Add salt to taste and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmigiano.
