Ingredients
- 250g homebrand fettuccine uncooked
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Extra 2 tablespoon parmesan to sprinkle on top
- 1/2 cup milk
- 300g homebrand full fat ricotta
- 125g frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
- 1 x pinch of salt and pepper
- 150g sliced mushrooms (optional)
Method
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, and cook the pasta as per the packet instructions or until al dente.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic and olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden. Add mushrooms and cook until brown
- Add in the ricotta and milk until it forms a sauce. Add in 1/2 cup of water from the pasta pot if you want to smooth it out more. Turn the heat to low, and let simmer.
- Drain the pasta once cooked, and add to the frying pan with the ricotta sauce as well as the parmesan cheese.
- Squeeze any excess liquid from the spinach, and then add to the frying pan. Stir to combine and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
