Spaghetti with ricotta and rocket is a delightful and simple Italian dish that combines the freshness of arugula, the creaminess of ricotta cheese, and a bit of heat from red hot chili peppers. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light lunch, this recipe brings together vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients to create a satisfying meal.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best taste, make sure your arugula, garlic, and chili peppers are fresh. Fresh ricotta will also enhance the dish's creamy texture.
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the number of chili peppers or remove the seeds before cooking.
- Cook Pasta Al Dente: Be sure to cook your pasta to al dente as it will continue to cook a bit when mixed with the warm sauce.
- Reserve Pasta Water: Before draining the pasta, save a cup of the pasta water. This starchy water can help to emulsify the sauce and make it cling better to the spaghetti.
- Mix Gently: When combining the arugula, ricotta, and spaghetti, mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
In mere minutes, you've crafted a flavorful and balanced plate of spaghetti with ricotta and rocket. This dish is perfect for any pasta lover looking for a fresh and zesty twist on traditional spaghetti. Enjoy it with a glass of white wine and a side salad for a complete meal.
