How to cook deliciously - Creamy Ziti Florentine
1. Stage
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the ziti and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until al dente (firm to the bite). Scoop out and reserve 2 cups of the starchy pasta cooking water, and drain the pasta in a colander.
2. Stage
Meanwhile, cook the scallions and spinach: In a large skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the scallions and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes, or until the scallions soften. Add the spinach and cook, turning with tongs, for 1 to 2 minutes, or just until it wilts.
3. Stage
Finish the pasta: Add the cooked ziti to the skillet, along with 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Add the Parmesan, lemon zest, ricotta, basil, and parsley. Stir vigorously until combined. Add more pasta cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if you like.
4. Stage
Serve the pasta: Spoon the ziti into shallow bowls and sprinkle with more Parmesan.
