Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb gemelli pasta or 1 lb other short pasta
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup capers, drained
1 large garlic clove, smashed
2 cups packed spinach, stemmed and chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
pepper
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • Drain, reserving the pot.
  • While the pasta is working, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil, 8 turns of the pan, over medium heat.
  • Add the capers and fry until they open, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 minute.
  • In the pasta pot, whisk the ricotta and milk over low heat until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Season with the thyme, some pepper and the nutmeg, if using.
  • Add the pasta and toss to coat.
  • Discard the garlic and stir the spinach into the pasta.
  • If desired, add some of the spinach oil from the skillet.
  • Top with the fried capers.

This was my first time cooking with capers, and I'm so glad I tried it! They added a delicious salty and tangy flavor to the dish.

I didn't have any capers on hand, so I used chopped olives instead. It turned out great!

The pasta was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I'll be sure to cook the pasta for less time next time.

I'm not a huge fan of capers, but I loved them in this dish! The frying process mellows out their flavor and adds a nice crunch.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I also added some mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste, but the addition of spinach and capers lightened it up nicely. I'll be making this again for sure.

The capers added a nice touch of saltiness and crunch to the creamy pasta. Next time, I'll try frying them a little longer for an even crispier texture.
