Spaghetti with Ricotta

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 Goody Spaghetti Pack (Shape 20)

3 tbs olive oil

3 tbs butter 
      
2 tbs parsley, chopped

1 cup almonds, ground

½ cup ricotta cheese

Pinch of grated nutmeg

Pinch of cinnamon powder

1 1/2 cup unsalted yogurt

125ml hot chicken stock

1 tbs pine nuts

Salt and pepper

Parsley sprigs for garnish

Steps:

1-Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and 1 tbs of the oil and cook until tender, but still firm to the bite.

2-Drain the pasta, return it to the pan, and add the butter and chopped parsley. Set aside and keep warm.

3-To make the sauce, mix together the ground almonds, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, and unsalted yogurt over low heat to form a thick paste.

Gradually stir in the remaining oil until fully mixed and then slowly stir in the hot chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4-Transfer the spaghetti to a warm serving dish, pour over the sauce and toss together well (see tip below). Sprinkle over the pine nuts, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.

Tip: Use two large forks to toss spaghetti so it is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Special spaghetti forks are available in home appliance stores.
