I've never bought ricotta before, and at the supermarket today whilst having a good peruse of the cheese section found a nice little pottle at a reduced price of only $3. I do love my bargains, and the ricotta had a good six days to go till its use by date. I happily popped it in my trolly along with some bocconcini and grana padano.
Once home and being peckish I decided to whip up a bit of an early dinner consisting of the following. Use as much of the following ingredients as you need for the amount of people you have. i.e I made enough for two servings.
Salami, cut into chunks and fry till crispy. Drain off the oil once it's almost done and add the tomato. Cook for a min or two longer then turn off the heat and stir through red capsicum, chopped basil, spinach and rocket, a tablespoon of ricotta (per serving). Stir everything together
At the same time boil a pot of water and add (preferably home made) pasta, recipe here.
Once you're done, add a tablespoon or so of the pasta water to the mixture in the frypan. Serve with a drizzle of lemon juice and some toasted nuts (I forgot these unfortunately on mine)
