[Okay fine, I love pasta. Long run or not, I would eat this.]
This recipe from CookingLight was absolutely delicious. It has some vegetables and protein as well which is great. I love the crispyness of the pasta from putting it in the pan.. and it was equally good as leftovers.
Ingredients
9 ounces refrigerated fettucine (I just used penne pasta, whole wheat is a good option)
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (I used 2 tsps instead)
1 1/2 cups diced red pepper
1/3 cup chopped walnuts ( I am out of walnuts so used hazelnuts which were delicious)
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or pressed (I used 2)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 cups fresh baby spinach (I used regular spinach and it worked fine)
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package, drain in colander; reserve 1/2 cup pasta water
2. combine ricotta, 1 tsp lemon rind, 1/4 tsp salt, and black pepper
3. heat 1 tbsp olive oil (or 1 tsp depending how much you are putting) in large skillet over medium high heat. Add bell pepper. saute 2 minutes. Add walnuts, 1/2 tsp salt, and garlic, saute 2 minutes. Stir in remaining oil (1 tbsp or tsp) and juice. Add pasta, pasta water and spinach; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Top with ricotta mixture
The magazine suggests serving it with Orange Olive Salad
