Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Grind basil, oil, and garlic together into a chunky paste using a mortar and pestle. Add pine nuts to the pesto; grind to the size of small peddles.
- Slice zucchini lengthwise into strips using a mandoline.
- Arrange 2 zucchini strips in the shape of a cross. Spoon some of the ricotta cheese mixture in the middle of the cross. Top with a dollop of pesto. Fold ends into the center to create a parcel, starting from the bottom end and moving clockwise. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining zucchini strips, ricotta cheese mixture, and pesto.
- Spread some of the pasta sauce in the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Arrange zucchini parcels on top, spacing them 1/2 inch apart. Spoon a bit of pasta sauce on top of each parcel. Sprinkle Parmiggiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until sauce and zucchini begin to brown, about 20 minutes.

SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE SAUCE FOR PASTA
This is lovely served on any pasta. I think it originally came from an old WW Pasta Cookbook, so it's fairly low in calories and it's so simple that even my boyfriend cooks it. It makes quite a 'dry' pasta sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion on a gentle heat until soft but not browned.
- Add the thyme, garlic (if using) and spinach.
- Continue to cook on low heat until the spinach leaves have wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. If you're spinach was very wet and there is a lot of water in the pan, drain some off otherwise the sauce will be very runny. If you're not sure drain it into a separate bowl you can always add some later if you feel it's too thick.
- Add the ricotta cheese and mix, using a wooden spoon, until it forms a smooth sauce.
- Season, using nutmeg (I use more than stated above, but then I really like nutmeg), salt, freshly ground pepper and powdered vegetable stock to taste.
- Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve straight away on your favourite pasta.

- 1. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pot over medium heat. When it is hot, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta, raise the heat a bit, and cook, stirring constantly, until it's glossy and smells toasty, about a minute. Add a little salt and pepper, then the wine, and stir.
- 2. Let the liquid bubble away. Begin to add water, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. When the liquid is just about absorbed, add more. The noodles should be neither soupy nor dry. Keep the heat at medium to medium-high, stir frequently, and repeat as necessary.
- 3. Begin tasting the pasta 10 minutes after you added it. When the pasta is just getting tender but still is too firm to eat, add the spinach and ricotta. (It could take as long as 15 minutes to reach this stage.) When the pasta is ready and the spinach softens, stir in the remaining butter and the Parmesan, adding a little more water if necessary to coat the noodles in sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve right away, passing more Parmesan at the table.
