Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 teaspoon olive oil; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 500 g fresh spinach, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped; 120 g ricotta cheese; 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated; 15 g pine nuts, toasted; salt, to taste; fresh ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon vegetable stock, powdered (optional); 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

Servings: persons

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
500 g fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
120 g ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
15 g pine nuts, toasted
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable stock, powdered (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

1
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion on a gentle heat until soft but not browned.
2
Add the thyme, garlic (if using) and spinach.
3
Continue to cook on low heat until the spinach leaves have wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. If you're spinach was very wet and there is a lot of water in the pan, drain some off otherwise the sauce will be very runny. If you're not sure drain it into a separate bowl you can always add some later if you feel it's too thick.
4
Add the ricotta cheese and mix, using a wooden spoon, until it forms a smooth sauce.
5
Season, using nutmeg (I use more than stated above, but then I really like nutmeg), salt, freshly ground pepper and powdered vegetable stock to taste.
6
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve straight away on your favourite pasta.
