Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Ingredients:
- ½ lb whole wheat spaghetti
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups baby spinach

Cook spaghetti to package directions. Add in spinach for the last 30 seconds. Drain and reserve some of the cooking water. Return to the pot.
While pasta cooks, mix together ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice with some salt and pepper.
Toss the hot spaghetti and spinach with the ricotta mixture. Add in a little reserved cooking water at a time until you reach desired consistency. It should be slightly creamy. Season with salt and pepper as needed and serve.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
