Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb gemelli pasta or 1 lb other short pasta
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup capers, drained
1 large garlic clove, smashed
2 cups packed spinach, stemmed and chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
pepper
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • Drain, reserving the pot.
  • While the pasta is working, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil, 8 turns of the pan, over medium heat.
  • Add the capers and fry until they open, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
  • In the pasta pot, whisk the ricotta and milk over low heat until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Season with the thyme, some pepper and the nutmeg, if using.
  • Add the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Discard the garlic and stir the spinach into the pasta.
  • If desired, add some of the spinach oil from the skillet.
  • Top with the fried capers.

I added a bit of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little bit of heat. It was delicious!

I used whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta, and it worked out great. The sauce was still creamy and flavorful, and the pasta held up well.

I'm not a huge spinach fan, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. It wilted down perfectly and added a nice pop of color.

I wasn't sure about the fried capers at first, but they really made the dish. They added a nice salty, briny flavor that balanced out the richness of the sauce.
