Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked capellini (angel hair) pasta
  • 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 medium carrots, cut into julienne strips (2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten or 1/2 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 cups spaghetti sauce, heated

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
  • 2
    While pasta is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook carrots, basil, salt and spinach in oil about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are crisp-tender. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet; keep warm.
  • 3
    Mix pasta, eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Shape pasta mixture into 4 patties, each 1 inch thick. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties in oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes, until golden brown.
  • 4
    Top patties with vegetable mixture and spaghetti sauce.

  • What could be better with hearty grilled tuna, salmon or swordfish?
  • No time for julienne? Look for shredded carrots in the produce section of your grocery store.
