It's not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves.

This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe from Off the Shelf is Spinach and Ricotta Pasta Bake, chosen by Margaret of Tea and Scones.
I only made a half recipe so that as a solo diner, I wasn't eating this for the rest of the year. (I got six serves out of half, so I am not sure how Donna got six serves out of double that - they must have been very generous serves!) However, I used up all the (baby) spinach that came in the bag, as it wasn't cheap, and it seems that this may have been a little enthusiastic, as I seem to have a very high ratio of spinach to everything else in my pasta bake.
No matter - this was absolutely delicious, and a nice change from what I would usually make. It is creamy without being rich, and has all the goodness of spinach and dairy.
