What's for dinner? Risa's spaghetti with...

This recipe was a great way to use up the bag of spinach I had on hand.

1/2 stick butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1 (10 oz) bag fresh spinach

1 t salt

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan, plus extra for serving

1/4 cup heavy cream, half and half or milk

1/8 t freshly grated nutmeg

8 oz hot cooked spaghetti or pasta

freshly diced tomato

In a large saucepan over medium heat melt butter. Add garlic and saute about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook with salt for 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low; stir in remaining ingredients. Mix sauce well and cook til just heated through; do not boil.

Toss spaghetti with sauce.

Serve with Parmesan and tomatoes and a side of garlic toast.
