15 oz ricotta cheese, part skim milk

Directions

Arrange the spinach in a vegetable steamer; steam, covered, 3 minutes or until spinach wilts. Drain, squeeze dry, and coarsely chop. Combine spinach, mushrooms, and pesto in a medium bowl, stirring to combine; set aside.

Delicious! Maybe it's just me, but the recipe seems from the instructions like it's missing an ingredient...the "Pasta Sauce". Anyway, I added a jar of Clasico pasta sauce and it worked out swimmingly!

Also, if you're running short on time, it can be done in the oven uncovered @ 350 for 40 mins. I'd omit the tomato sauce tho.

Anyway, thanks for the great recipe!
