Piece of life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to believe, but I finished my master’s degree! The last 18 months have been intense\u2026 balancing studies and family life has been a challenge but with the right support [thanks Hubby], I have succeeded to manage it all. Now I’m enjoying a well-deserved vacation before going back to work. In the kitchen, the trend is towards simplicity. It seems that once the pressure drops, it’s hard to get the energy back, even for cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the one-pot pasta with spinach and ricotta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a secret: I love pasta! Whether it’s simply with a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of garlic, or with more elaborate sauces, I can never get enough of it. And no matter the shape, I love them all [ok, I admit I have a few favorites]\u2026 I wish I had time to make my own pasta, but unfortunately that’s rarely possible during the week. [We have a little family tradition of eating pasta every Wednesday night]. So I buy dry pasta, as most of you do. I make sure to choose quality pasta though. My usual brands: Delverde<\/a> and De Cecco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the major trend of the last few years is to make “one pot” style recipes [you cook everything in a single pan]. Let’s be honest, it definitely makes life easier. I don’t make them very often though, but a while back I tried a one-pot lasagna from a Goodfood box <\/a>we had received as a gift, and I have to admit that I liked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a simple recipe for ricotta and spinach pasta prepared in one dish. I used lasagna cut into small pieces, but you can change to another type of pasta if you prefer. Adjust the cooking time depending on the brand and type of pasta you will choose, and according to your tastes too [personally, pasta always has to be al dente<\/em>]. If you go with the lasagna, be sure to separate the pieces as they tend to stick together [and therefore they won’t cook well].<\/p>\n\n\n
