Instructions

Grate the lemon peel and garlic cloves. Then wash the spinach leaves.
Take a medium-sized pot and fill it for about 3/4 with water, then bring it to a boil. Only, this time, add the spinach leaves to the water immediately after turning on the heat.
In a bowl, mix ricotta with all the other ingredients (except the spaghetti).
When the water boils take out the spinach leaves with a slotted spoon and let them dry for a couple minutes on a strainer or on a clean cloth. In the meantime, use the same water to cook the spaghetti al dente.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and toss it in the bowl with the ricotta mix, then add the spinach leaves and mix. Or, if you prefer, you can blend the spinach and combine it with the ricotta to create a green sauce.
Let the pasta cool for 5 minutes, then you can serve it.
Enjoy!
