Lemon ricotta pasta & spinach

The ricotta didn't become creamy, just clumped together.

Paired it with Lemon Garlic Chicken. Just adjust the lemon juice to your liking and make sure to season with salt and pepper.

Personally the lemon flavor was not strong enough for me. I think my lemons were too small. I will also add extra garlic. Overall worth the effort just need to tweak the flavor to my taste.

i need to be a little bit more brave about adding lemon and pepper next time, but it’s still good

I had a cream cheese and used it instead of ricotta, really tasty and easy lunch.

I used half the amount of lemon juice that the recipe called for but it still turned out a little too lemony. Despite that it still tasted great!

Love it! Added extra spinach and salmon cooked with a touch of brandy so I might have added a little too much ricotta to compensate. But overall simple, garlicky, creaming, so filling.

Added sliced mushrooms at the same time I added the spinach. Made crispy baked chicken tenders to go with it. Really enjoyed it. I did add the red pepper flakes as suggested!

Loved this! Cooked it exactly to the recipe and it felt like a perfect spring time dish, light and fresh.

Too lemony, use less. Maybe add some alfredo or cream. Served with salmon. Would do green beans next time too

Very good! I added shrimp for a protein. It will be back on our menu.

Added tomatoes and seasoning salt. Kids did not appreciate the lemon.

Simple, but ohhhh so good for a quick simple meal. Had it almost 3 times in a row.

This was so good my family even likes the leftovers, even though the quality of the dish declines rapidly after it's combined. Definitely serve immediately.

Turned out really good, can confirm use the zest of a whole lemon and juice of half turned out with just enough lemon and not overpowering

Ok, but just didn't quite work.

One lemon is a little too much for 3 servings

This was delicious. Added a bit more lemon just because I could. Forgot chili flakes which definitely would go well with it. Served with ciabatta caprese.

The sauce is great! Pairs very well with salmon. Its got a good enough base that you can season your salmon however you want

Very very good!! I added some red pepper flakes in mine and after I served it in bowls I added some more salt.. was very very very good! 💛

Very nice quick meal, will definitely be making again.

could add 25% more spinach is you want. Definitely use only half the amount of lemom juice. Also more garlic and back pepper

Brilliant easy and tasty recipe; chilli a good idea+ pine nuts perhaps?

Ended up not having enough spaghetti, so here's some Penne, and it works just as well. So lemony, Ricotta melted like a dream. The sauce was delicious. Only thing is I'd throw some chicken or Shrimp on top as it's missing a bit of an umani type flavor, overall though, a great meal, will be cooking again.

Really enjoyed the ricotta based sauce next time I will use fresh spinach as opposed to frozen made some grilled chicken with it to give it more protein

This was delicious! We added shrimp and subbed spaghetti squash! Definitely making again

Would put more garlic and lemon juice/zest

First attempt to make it, didn't follow the exact measurements but still came out lemony. I'll defently make it again.

Not something to make without something to break the richness. I for one quickly got over the taste.

Added a breast of diced chicken 🐥and a side of fresh beans out of the garden 🌱. Changed to authentic italian pasta. Next time will get 2 lemons 🍋and add zest as garnish.

Not much flavor

Wonderful and simple. Took twenty minutes to make, including making my own ricotta (didn’t have it at home). Added some chili and Parmesan. The sauce is very simple to make, no cooking required. I think I added too much pasta water as I thought it’ll make the cheese more creamy. I’ll add less next time.

New family favourite, easy to do and so fresh tasting.

I was really disappointed. The lemon covered the ricotta and even the taste of the spinach... it was hardly edible! If you try it, you can put less than half the lemon called for!

It wasn't bad but not really my taste, my mom liked it though! I just feel there was something missing and it was pretty bland. I might try making it again though and putting my own spin on it so it might taste better to me.

Disappointing. Couldn’t pinpoint what was missing but won’t repeat.

Love this recipe!!

Yummy, very lemony, allow more spinach!

Very good! I zested 2 lemons and made my own ricotta, and it was delicious!

It was very watery. Next time I'll cut back in the reserved pasta water.

Would double the amount of sauce because its so good. I also cooked some shrimp separately and added that to the recipe. All in all so easy and very tasty!

Not much flavor

So easy &yummy👀🥰

Super easy to make. I misread the step about adding the reserved water but it still turned out good. I added shrimp for a meat since hubby likes meat in most of his pasta dishes.

Everyone loved it. I did add more lemon, but it was a perfect side to go with baked chicken.

Didn’t really have too much flavor to it…

This pasta was delicious! I did put more spinach in it because we really like it. I also added red pepper flakes and fresh basil. So, so good!

Super fácil y rápido de preparar, queda deliciosa

Add chicken

perfect for summer! served with chicken 🍋

Quick and very easy to make, and the final dish has a bright, summery taste reminiscent of my 2013 trip to Italy. A cup of frozen peas can be substituted for the spinach. This one is definitely going into the regular dinner rotation. Buon Appetito!

Delicious weekday dinner!

You can also add sliced Italian sausage

Added shrimp

Refreshing

Some may want a little more seasoning but it's delicious by the recipe. Will make again! Yum

Used too much linguine, not enough sauce. Not enough lemon

Not sure why I am using ricotta in this as it does not enhance the pasta much - a normal cream sauce would suffice. I also added parsley and cooked in some onions for more flavor, and I still don’t find the dish particularly enticing.

Added red pepper flakes and mushrooms like one person suggested.

As directed, it was really good, but a bit bland. With our leftovers we sauteed mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and some sun-dried tomatoes. AMAZING!!! Even with the modifications/additions, it is still a super simple meal that will easily become a staple, go-to for a quick meal. I did use a chickpea angle hair pasta that cooked in about 4 minutes (that was delicious), so that really helps for a quick meal. I also used extra lemon which really brightens it up.

My family loved this pasta. They requested it again next week. The sauce is light and really refreshing with the lemon. After tasting the ricotta sauce mixture I added more lemon juice, garlic, and a bit of Italian seasoning.

Great recipe. I added garlic paste and cajun seasoning to the pasta, and baked lemon garlic tilapia on top.

I added some salmon to it to give it something extra and it was delicious

My boyfriend said he liked it but to me it was bland, maybe I didn’t use enough lemon, and the cheese was just a weird texture for what I’m used to with pasta. Not my cup of tea but others may love this.

Might try with an alternative noodle to make a bit healthier. Added some Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.

100% would make again. This was delicious. Went hard on the lemon and pepper and used part- skin ricotta, and it was luscious. Served with tilapia for a complete meal

Made it just like the recipe said. Oh so good. Added pork chops. I recommend this dish. Oh so good!

Super good! I love lemon, so I thought the recipe had great flavor. Hubby said it was good, but a little strong in the lemon dept. I added shredded chicken to make it a complete meal.

Absolutely amazing and easy. I went crazy with the lemon and I don't regret it at all.

Loved by husband and one of the most pickiest kids in the universe. Demands were made that I make it again.

This had a very fresh taste. The kids were iffy about it. Very easy to put together.

This was wonderful ! Will definitely make again. Followed recipe as is

If you're a slow cook like me, give more time for the spinach to wilt than what the recipe says, because the prep was a bit messy. Tasted great though!

Loved this! although I messed up slightly, for some reason I picked up mascarpone instead of ricotta - so I suspect it would taste even better with the correct ingredients. I also used only half the lemon juice and it was more than enough for us. very easy, and very yummy! will make again - correctly! ETA: can confirm it’s even better with ricotta, a lot lighter which works well with lemon. But if you’re daft like me and buy the wrong thing, it works too :)

LOTS OF LEMON! Great pasta but was more time consuming than I thought. Tasted great

I had a lemon left in the fridge, wondered what can I do with it, and then I saw this recipe. It is easy to cook, but not to my taste. Not sure how will it be but I think adding some meat will taste better.

It was really simple and tasty. I did add some shrimp to it for protein.
