Steps:
- Begin cooking macaroni. While the macaroni is cooking, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Drain the macaroni and toss fresh spinach in the pot until it has just began to wilt. Then mix with ricotta mixture and stewed tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!
- Note: You can interchange the ingredients for full fat versions or fat free versions. Also, you can use any kind of macaroni you like. For the stewed tomatoes, you can use Italian style as well!
SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE SAUCE FOR PASTA
This is lovely served on any pasta. I think it originally came from an old WW Pasta Cookbook, so it's fairly low in calories and it's so simple that even my boyfriend cooks it. It makes quite a 'dry' pasta sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion on a gentle heat until soft but not browned.
- Add the thyme, garlic (if using) and spinach.
- Continue to cook on low heat until the spinach leaves have wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. If you're spinach was very wet and there is a lot of water in the pan, drain some off otherwise the sauce will be very runny. If you're not sure drain it into a separate bowl you can always add some later if you feel it's too thick.
- Add the ricotta cheese and mix, using a wooden spoon, until it forms a smooth sauce.
- Season, using nutmeg (I use more than stated above, but then I really like nutmeg), salt, freshly ground pepper and powdered vegetable stock to taste.
- Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve straight away on your favourite pasta.
