This lemony and cheesy pasta dish is sure to brighten any winter day! It is super simple to put together and makes a great starter.

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add salt to taste and serve immediately, garnished with more Parmigiano.
