Pacific Northwest Prawn, Ricotta and Spinach Pasta image

Mmmm - this is yummy and a wonderful one dish meal for company or any old time. Serve with a crunch baguette and Crisp Pinot Grigio. US Barefoot is a very nice one with a very decent price. This recipe is from Taste magazine which is put out by various Liquor Distributors. April 2008 **I tried using a peppered goats cheese instead of the ricotta and much preferred it that way.

I'm not a big fan of prawns, but I really enjoyed this pasta dish. The ricotta and spinach filling was creamy and flavorful, and the prawns were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This pasta dish was a bit too salty for my taste. The prawns were cooked well, but the ricotta and spinach filling was a bit too overpowering. I would probably make it again, but I would use less salt next time.

This pasta dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The prawns were cooked well, but the ricotta and spinach filling was a bit too heavy. I would probably make it again, but I would use less cheese next time.

This pasta dish was just okay. The prawns were cooked well, but the ricotta and spinach filling was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and Parmesan cheese to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The prawns were overcooked and the ricotta and spinach filling was dry and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.
