I know, I know, fridge pasta doesn't sound very appetizing. But trust me... sometimes you have stuff you need to use up and everything just falls into place beautifully. I call that a fridge meal :)
1lb pasta (I used Farfalle)
1 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chopped leftover ham
2-3 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Splash of white wine
Pepper
A few large handfuls fresh chopped spinach
1 cup ricotta
Put on a big pot of salted water to cook your pasta. Meanwhile, saute the onion, garlic, and ham in butter until the onion is soft. Add mushrooms and wine and cook on low heat until your pasta is done. Toss together hot drained pasta, fresh spinach, onion/ham/mushroom mixture, and ricotta until combined. Voila! Fridge pasta :)
Feel free to adapt this recipe however necessary... it would be yummy with fresh tomatoes, diced chicken, arugula, Parmesan, goat cheese, basically what ever you have on hand and need to use up!
