Recipe by Carol Prager This saucy vegetarian pasta takes on a subtle peppery bite from the arugula and watercress, so feel free to leave out the red pepper if feeding heat-sensitive palates.

Ingredients

12 ounces uncooked whole-wheat penne rigate 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 (5-ounce) package fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped 2 ounces baby arugula 1 bunch watercress, trimmed 3 tablespoons shaved pecorino Romano cheese

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, onion, red pepper, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add pasta, reserved 1/4 cup pasta water, ricotta, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine spinach, arugula, and pasta mixture in a large bowl, stirring until spinach begins to wilt. Stir in watercress. Top with pecorino cheese.
