- 400 g pasta
- ½ lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 fresh leaf parsley
Ricotta mousse
- 250 g ricotta cheese
- 150 g frozen spinach fresh is also fine
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
Put a pan of water almost full and bring to the boil. Add a generous amount of salt - there should be plenty of salt in the water to flavor the pasta.
Thaw and heat the spinach in the microwave. If you are using fresh spinach; shred and boil in a small amount of water.
Mix the spinach into the cheese. Season with honey, salt and pepper.
Boil the pasta until firm, or "al dente". Pour off all the water. Drizzle generously with olive oil and stir. Squeeze the lemon to taste.
Swirl the pasta on a plate, top with the ricotta mousse, shreds of parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
