Creamy One-Pot Herby, Lemony Ricotta Pasta

This is a nutrient-packed, delicious family pleaser and the perfect one-pot meal if you're having a few friends over and don't know what to make. It's why having that pouch of Chimichurri in your fridge is always a good idea.

Chef Tip: Zesting the lemon into the butter with the garlic at the beginning of the recipe is such a great way to infuse flavor into the dish, you may find yourself doing it in other recipes as well!

Ingredients

  • Butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 pound penne, fusilli or farfalle pasta

  • 2 zucchini or summer squash, chopped

  • Salt

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

  • 3-4 cups baby spinach

  • Haven's Kitchen Herby Chimichurri

  • Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and/or toasted walnuts (optional garnish)

Steps

STEP 1

In a large pot set over medium heat, melt the butter with the garlic and the zest of the lemon, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the butter is browning. Add in the pasta and toss to coat in the butter. Stir in the zucchini, add a big pinch of salt, and then add the broth

STEP 2

Bring to a boil over high heat and, stirring frequently, cook for about 8 minutes until the pasta is tender all the way through, but still firm

STEP 3

Stir in the ricotta, spinach, and about a ½ pouch of Herby Chimichurri. Cook for about 2 more minutes until very creamy and the spinach is wilted

STEP 4

Serve topped with Parmesan, breadcrumbs, or chopped walnuts
