Lemon Spaghetti
Spaghetti with lemon, ricotta, and spinach is probably one of my favorite pasta dishes in the universe.
I love the taste of lemon, so I find this recipe completely irresistible.
Each time I buy ricotta to prepare lasagna, I reserve 1/2 cup of ricotta to be able to prepare this dish a couple of days later!

- 3 handfuls of fresh spinach

Lemon spaghetti is a simple recipe that will take you 15 minutes to prepare.

- MEDIUM BOWL: Mix ricotta with parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon zest.
- Boil a pot of water and cook pasta – al dente – per the instructions in the box.
- 1 minute before the pasta is ready, add the spinach (cook it for 1 minute only).
- Drain the pasta and the spinach very well. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Put the drained pasta back in the pot.
- Add the ricotta mix and a bit of the pasta water that you had reserved, but be careful not to exceed it because then you cannot undo it.
- Mix well until it is creamy.
- Garnish with lemon slices, if you’d like.
- Enjoy!
