Pasta With Ricotta & Edamame image

A recipe from All You magazine that I have altered a bit. It's a simple yet filling vegetarian pasta dish. I use Barilla Plus pasta for extra fiber and protein.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese (I use part skim)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb rotini pasta or 1 lb other short pasta
2 cups frozen shelled edamame
1/3 cup finely chopped basil
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomato (not in oil)

Steps:

  • Stir ricotta with parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta al dente.
  • Add edamame to pot for final 3 minute of pasta cooking time.
  • Reserve 1 cup cooking water before draining pasta & edamame.
  • Add pasta & edamame to bowl with cheese mixture with 1/2 cup of cooking water (If mixture is too dry, add more of the water 1 tablespoons at a time until creamy).
  • Stir in basil & sundried tomatoes.
  • Season with salt & pepper.
  • Serve immediately.
