This sounds like the perfect Meatless Monday Dinner. I am serving this with some salad greens tossed with my canned beets, walnuts, fresh herbs and a light balsamic dressing and some thick Italian bread!
Hope you enjoy and Happy cooking,
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked pappardelle (wide ribbon pasta)
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
3 cups baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons grated fresh pecorino Romano cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Cook pasta with 1 tablespoon salt according to package directions, omitting additional fat. Drain in a colander over a bowl, and reserve 1 cup cooking liquid.
Combine 1/2 cup reserved hot cooking liquid and ricotta cheese in a food processor or blender, and process until well blended.
Combine hot pasta, cheese mixture, spinach, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently to coat. Add additional cooking liquid to moisten, if needed.
