by My ultimate ease and comfort foods is a enormous bowl of pasta with some sort of creamy sauce. In this dish, I puree sundried tomatoes with cream and a contact of ricotta for extra flavor and slight tang the ricotta also assists thicken the sauce, but to lower again the richness I utilized 50 percent & fifty percent and component skim ricotta.

The addition of shrimp tends to make this more filling, although the spinach tends to make me experience a bit much better about consuming a cream and carb-laden dinner.
