Nutritional values

The fresh spinach delights us with cell-protecting vitamin C, E and beta-carotene. Zinc cares for the immune system and is involved in many metabolic mechanisms. The green leafy vegetables are also an important supplier of vegetable protein and haematopoietic iron. The low-fat ricotta is particularly rich in protein, which not only makes it creamy, but is also well tolerated by the stomach and intestines.

A dash of lemon juice makes the ricotta cream even fresher and rounds off the taste. If you would like to change the recipe, the spinach can be replaced by chard, for example. Instead of pine nuts, chopped walnuts also taste great with pasta.

Preparation steps

1.

Cook tagliatelle in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente. Rinse spinach and spin dry.

Drain pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Mix pasta immediately with 2-3 tablespoons oil, ricotta cheese and 4-5 tablespoons cooking water. Continue mixing until ricotta completely coats pasta. Add additional cooking water if needed to thin sauce.

Stir in baby spinach and pine nuts and season with pepper and nutmeg. Divide pasta among plates and serve immediately.
