Recipe #290: Pasta with spinach, ricotta, and zuchini

I recently went through some old Real Simple magazines to tear out the recipes I wanted to try! I love the recipes in their magazines! The recipe that mine is based off of can also be found here. It was so fresh and delicious! We had some baked sweet potato rounds on the side and that was amazing as usual! :) We had intended to grill the zucchini and sweet potatoes, but our grill was out of gas. :(


You need:
2 zucchini, cut in half then sliced long ways
a couple slices of onion
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
pasta (I used half a box of linguine)
couple handfuls of fresh spinach
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 spoonfuls of ricotta
crushed red pepper

  • cook pasta according to package directions
  • meanwhile, cook onion and zucchini in olive oil
  • save 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain pasta
  • add pasta to pan with zucchini, add spinach, pepper and salt, mix up.
  • serve with a spoonful of ricotta and crushed red pepper
