Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese (I might have used a bit more than 1/4 cup)
  • 2 tbsp. pine nuts
  • 1 tsp. olive oil (I used EVOO)
  • 1 tsp. chopped garlic (I just used 2 cloves of garlic – might be more than 1 tsp but gave it great flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper, or more to taste
  • Frozen Spinach
  • Freshly grated Parmesan (to top your pasta dish)
  • Whole wheat rotini pasta (or any whole wheat pasta you like!)
  • Pasta water (save about 1-2 ladle-fulls after cooking the pasta – it helps to make the sauce even creamier!)
