Recipe Introduction


You'll love this simple toss of hot macaroni, creamy ricotta, Parmesan, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.





List of Ingredients



• 1 package (16 ounces) rigatoni or ziti pasta
  
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
  
• 1 container (15 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese
  
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 10 oil-packed dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
  






Instructions



1. In large saucepot, cook pasta in boiling salted water 5 minutes; add frozen spinach and cook 10 minutes longer or until spinach is tender and pasta is al dente. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
   
2. Return pasta, spinach, and reserved cooking water to saucepot. Add ricotta, Parmesan, dried tomatoes, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Heat over medium-low heat, tossing until pasta is evenly coated and heated through.
