Recipe Reviews

13th April 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Using just spinach, ham and cheese, this sauce was easy to prepare and was done in less time than it took to cook the pasta.

I did take a few liberties with the recipe: I used only 1 tbsp butter to sauté the ham and spinach instead of 1/4 cup, used low fat ricotta cheese, and used pasta water instead of additional butter to help create a sauce at the end. I also used pre-washed baby spinach which I didn’t pre-cook.

Served with whole wheat pasta, it was a quick, light and tasty meal. My family thought it could have used a little sautéed garlic or onion, but I thought that the ham and parmesan prevented it from being bland and I enjoyed being able to taste the spinach and ricotta.
