Method

Step 1

Cook the tagliatelle or spaghetti pasta in a pot of boiling salted water following the packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the ricotta, lemon juice and zest and parmesan into a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium frying pan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and thyme to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the Gregg's Chilli Flakes and Wattie's Frozen Spinach to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach has just defrosted and heated through.

Step 4

Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a little of the pasta water. Toss pasta into the spinach along with the ricotta mixture, adding enough of the cooking water to the pan to attain a smooth and creamy texture. Season to taste.

Step 5

Serve topped with extra parmesan, Gregg's chilli flakes and chopped parsley.
