Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Haunted House and Lemon Kale Ricotta Pasta

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  Here is my 'Haunted House' ACEO(2 1/2" x 3 1/2") for the art theme.  I used acrylic markers.






 For the dinner date, I made a lemon kale ricotta pasta.

Recipe:

8 oz spaghetti
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1/3c grated parmesan cheese
280g ricotta cheese
salt, pepper to taste
pinch red pepper flakes
bunch kale
juice of half lemon

Tear kale into 1-2" pieces, rinse and drain

In a medium bowl combine ricotta, lemon juice, parmesan
While pasta is cooking,
saute garlic in olive oil and butter, salt, pepper, red pepper.
Add kale and saute another 5-10 mins until kale is bright green and wilted.

Add cooked pasta and ricotta and mix together.  
Enjoy!

Your haunted house is very interesting. Is it a school house? Looks like it has a bell. Are those ghosts in the windows? You have caught my imagination. Can't wait to try the pasta. Thanks for the recipe.
