A colourful and fresh dish for a lunch or light dinner. Serve this up in 20-25 minutes for a perfect midweek dinner that even the kids will love.
Substitute whatever herbs are handy (I'm thinking basil, sage, oregano or even lemon thyme would be delightful), and for an extra kick go for some chilli, garlic or, as we opted for, some fresh lemon zest... delish!

1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water for 12-15 minutes OR according to packet directions. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small pan on low. Add tomatoes, lemon juice and parsley and cook for 1 minute, until aromatic. Add spinach and cook on high heat until just wilted.
3. Add drained fettuccine and toss through gently with ricotta to just mix. Season to taste.
