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!
