PENNE WITH ASPARAGUS, RICOTTA AND LEMON
This recipe is from the Reader's Digest, Magic foods for better blood sugar book. I don't eat a lot of pasta because let's face it, it's just not that healthy, or low fat. But there are times where I crave pasta and am always looking for a healthy, fast and tasty version to have on hand. This serves nice with a side salad and a piece of low glycemic bread such as pumpernickel or sourdough. Instead of butter, a low fat ricotta mixed with a tsp of olive oil and some chili flakes is a nice low glycemic spread. There is also a variation here for Penne with Spinach, Ricotta and Lemon, however I have not tried this variation.

ONE-POT PASTA WITH ASPARAGUS AND RICOTTA
This recipe is sponsored by Target. Everything cooks in the same pot in this game-changing dinner: the aromatics (onions and garlic), the spring vegetables (asparagus and peas), and even the noodles (no separate pot of boiling water necessary!). It's finished with lemon, fresh basil and dollops of creamy ricotta.
