Spinach & Ricotta Spaghetti
Prep: 5 Minutes - Cook: 10 Minutes - easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

This quick and easy Spinach & Ricotta Spaghetti is a good, filling midweek dinner. Great for vegetarians.

Ingredients

400g/14oz wholemeal spaghetti

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

400g bag spinach, washed

big handful raisins (about 25g/1oz)

squeeze lemon juice

50g/2oz toasted pine nuts

½ x 250g tub half-fat ricotta

Method

  1. Boil the pasta according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a deepsided frying pan or large saucepan and fry the garlic for 1 min until just golden. Tip in the spinach (it will seem like a lot), along with the raisins, then cook for 2 mins until the spinach has wilted, stirring a few times.

  2. Take the spinach pan off the heat, then add the lemon juice, remaining olive oil and pine nuts. Stir through the drained pasta, adding a little of the cooking water if the mixture seems dry, then season with black pepper, and salt if you like. Break up the ricotta with a fork and fold through the spaghetti.
