There is even a video, so you can see exactly how easy it is. I made it again last Wednesday when I had off, and we had enough for Stephen to bring leftovers for lunch twice, and we even had it for dinner again on Friday....not too shabby! It really goes a LONG way!
Here are the ingredients...

Add damp spinach, stir until wilted. Add plum tomatoes, tomato paste, and season with salt and pepper; let simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in basil and parsley, set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and egg, season with salt and pepper and set aside. (My noodles didn't come out very pretty, but they sure were delicious regarless!)

Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting, serve.
I made a simple salad with spring mix, and balsamic vinaigrette... delish!
