Sun Dried Tomato Linguine Dream
Enjoy creamy ricotta and wilted spinach tossed with linguine and savory sun-dried tomato dill seasoning for a delightful pasta dream.
Ingredients
- 4 servings whole wheat linguine
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- 2 cups spinach
- 3 tbs. of Sun Dried Tomato Dill seasoning mix from The Golden Fig
- Optional: White crumbly cheese like Gorgonzola for topping
Instructions
- Cook linguine according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
- In a food processor, combine the Sun Dried Tomato Dill seasoning mix with the ricotta cheese. Add a splash of milk or cream if needed to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Add the ricotta mixture to the drained, hot linguine. Toss well to coat. Gradually add spoonfuls of the reserved pasta water, mixing until the sauce reaches your desired creamy consistency. Add more water if the sauce seems too dry or thick.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and toss until it just begins to wilt from the heat of the pasta.
- Serve immediately, topping each portion with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or your favorite white crumbly cheese.

- Don't skip reserving the pasta water; its starchiness is key to a creamy sauce.
- Adjust the amount of pasta water to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
