How to Make Spinach And Ricotta Cheese Sauce For Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
  3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  5. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
