Pasta with cheese gets re-invented with the addition of chillies, fresh basil and creamy ricotta.
Ingredients
- 200g rocket
- 5 tablespoons (100ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 red chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped
- 1 loosely-packed cup picked basil leaves
- 200g low-fat ricotta cheese
- 400g spaghetti
- 1 cup (100g) grated parmesan
Method
- Step 1Roughly chop half the rocket. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frypan over medium heat, add garlic and chilli and fry for 1 minute. Add basil and chopped rocket, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Place in a food processor with ricotta, remaining oil and half the remaining rocket, and process to combine. Season well.
