Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb low-fat ricotta cheese
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup chives, thinly sliced
1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach (about 1 1/4 cups once drained)
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 lb campanelle pasta (i'm going to use a box of smart pasta linguini instead)
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, butter and chives in an oven safe large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Place in a low oven.
Just before the pasta is al dente, remove about 3/4 cup of the pasta water. Whisk enough of the hot water into the cheese mixture to give it the consistency of a creamy sauce.
Drain the pasta and add to the sauce. Toss well. Add the grated cheese and toss again, adding more water if needed to thin the sauce.
