I love this pasta! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for a little extra flavor.

This pasta is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I usually have a bunch of spinach left over after making a salad, and this is a great way to use it up. The pasta is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This is a great recipe for a vegetarian meal. The spinach and ricotta filling is packed with protein and the pasta is a good source of carbohydrates. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
