Instructions
- Place a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Sauté the shallots and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in freshly grated nutmeg, and cook 1 more minute.
- Add the vegetable stock to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the pasta, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Simmer covered for 8-10 minutes until the pasta is cooked to al dente. Check the instructions for your particular type of pasta, times vary.
- Turn the heat to low. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in ricotta and cream. Gently fold in the spinach, walnuts, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Return the pan to the low heat burner. Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and all ingredients are heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days! Reheat in the microwave until heated through. Avoid freezing this pasta for later, since the textures will not be the same after thawing.
