Spinach and Ricotta with Pasta

This was super yummy, I did have to substitute Mozzarella & Feta for the Parmesan (I didn't have any) as well as adding sun-dried tomatoes and 3/4 of what the spinach requirement was. Still the base of this recipe was great, and everyone enjoyed it:)

I made the spinach and ricotta with pasta for dinner tonight and I loved it. I liked the simple, well written language of the recipe. The only thing I did slightly different was that I used fresh baby spinach and fresh basil leaves at the end of my cooking the sauce and I also added home made sun dried tomatoes. I think my additions improved it to perfection.
