How To Prepare Rigatoni with Broccoli, Walnuts and Ricotta ?

Preparation:  

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Serving: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon salt + more to taste
• 1/2 pound rigatoni or other tubular pasta
• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
• 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bring a 6-quart pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water and when it dissolves, stir in the rigatoni.
2. While the rigatoni cooks, add the broccoli to a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat with a splash of the pasta water. Cover and cook the broccoli just until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Uncover and add the walnuts, cooking just until warmed and toasted.
4. When the rigatoni is al dente, add it to the broccoli and walnuts along with 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water. Taste and add salt as needed.
5. Divide the pasta between 4 bowls and top each with about 1/4 cup ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
