Pasta in Ricotta Cheese Spinach Sauce : Melting in mouth

Have you ever felt Pasta melting in your mouth ??.. Am such a great lover of Pasta that I feel sometimes its melting in my mouth and that enhance my craving for more.. Yummy ! .. We went to Blenheim Palace yesterday and I had pasta there for lunch. I must say, it was not that good. Or may be I expect Pasta to be always of some premier level. I resisted my urge to take a pic of that, however the raspberry tart we had was amazing.. I certainly shot it, it was buttery, crispy and creamy at the same time.. At last, my day goes with something real to melt in mouth.

Leaving this Scrumptious tart, I ll come back to my adorable Pasta again. I had some Ricotta Cheese left in fridge which was leading towards its expiry. I simply drool over Ricotta cheese. Its a soft, fresh cheese that literally means “recooked” in Italian. This cheese is made from recooking the whey after it has been separated from the curds. Ricotta cheese has a white and creamy appearance, similar to cottage cheese, and a mild taste. Ricotta is often found in Italian dishes and has health benefits that can make it a good addition to any diet. 


This Ricotta Cheese pasta sauce will surely hit your taste buds prompting you to try it again and again 🙂

7. 1/2 tsp, ginger powder, cinnamon, red chili powder each

3. Now, take the pan off the flame, mix Ricotta cheese and stir well. Keep it on flame again and cook for a min on low flame. Keep stirring.
4. Add all the spices and keep side. Please note that there should be no water left out in the sauce. It should absolutely be mixed well.

Notes :
1. When cooking pasta, remember to pour in the pasta in the boiling water and Not when the water is just heating up. That will make Pasta starchy.
