Spring Pasta with Baby Spinach, Tomatoes, and Ricotta Cheese

Spring Pasta with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Asiago Cheese

 

To me, this pasta dish announced the arrival of spring. Never-mind the fact that it’s snowing outside right now, on April 1. That’s beside the point.

I originally saw this recipe for Papardelle with Baby Spinach, Herbs, and Ricotta featured on the April cover of Cooking Light, and was super excited to try it. I couldn’t find pappardelle noodles in my local grocery store, but that’s no biggie. I tweaked a couple of the ingredients to my own tastes (traded dill for basil, Romano cheese for Asiago).

I wasn’t planning to take any photos other than the “final” shot, but this one just kinda happened. I couldn’t resist the colors!

Side note: loving my new giant cutting board. Thank you, Home Goods Store!
