Farfalle With Spinach Garlic Ricotta Recipes

FARFALLE WITH SPINACH, GARLIC & RICOTTA

Steps:

• 1. Start heating a large pot of water to boiling for the pasta. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil until hot but not smoking over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes.
• 2. Stir in the spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ricotta and milk and cook until the sauce is creamy and heated through, about 4 minutes longer.
• 3. Meanwhile, cook the farfalle in the boiling water until just tender. Drain well. Transfer the spinach sauce to a large bowl, add the farfalle and basil, and toss to combine.
