Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- In the last minute of pasta cooking time, gently add fresh baby spinach to the pot, allowing it to wilt.
- Carefully drain the pasta and spinach, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Return to the pot and stir in the ricotta mixture.
- Toss everything over low heat for 1-2 minutes, adding reserved pasta water gradually to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
