Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried whole-wheat fusilli pasta 1 cup hulled pumpkin seeds, toasted 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove 1 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 2 1/2 ounces baby spinach, packed (2 1/2 cups) Freshly ground pepper 3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, for serving Tomatoes, cut into wedges, for serving (optional)

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, combine toasted pumpkin seeds, parsley, chives, oil, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, the lemon zest, and 1 cup baby spinach in a food processor. Season with pepper, and pulse until well combined.

Toss pasta with pesto mixture. Add reserved cooking liquid, and mix until pasta is well coated. Fold in remaining 1 1/2 cups baby spinach. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Divide among 6 bowls. Top each with a dollop of ricotta, and season with pepper. Serve with tomato wedges if desired.
