Ingredients

1/2 pound pappardelle
1/4 cup chives, freshly snipped
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup fennel tops, chopped
1/4 cup fresh arugula, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. When the water comes to a rolling boil, stir in the pasta. Cook according to the package directions, until al dente.

In the meantime, mix the chives, parsley, fennel, arugula, and oil in a small bowl. Place the ricotta in a medium-sized bowl; mix with the extra-virgin olive oil and 1 cup pasta cooking water. Mix in herb salad.

Drain the pasta well and transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Soon the ricotta mixture over the pasta and add the pecorino. Toss to combine. If the resulting pasta appears too dry, add a little more pasta water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately

Fresh and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I substituted the arugula with baby spinach only because I couldn't find arugula. I also added some roasted asparagus. This... was very good AND if you like cold pasta, it tasted pretty good as a late night snack!!!Read more

Delicious and Different
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I went looking for a recipe that used pappardelle. We were given these noodles in a gift basket and I had no real idea how to... use them. I thought this would be a good one for a summer night. I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer to use a little more salt. This recipe had a different texture and flavors than your typical pasta recipe. My husband and I loved it! Thanks, MarioRead more

nice and fresh - a little bland
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I liked the freshness of this recipe, and the textures, but I found the pasta water made it kind of bland, and I had to add a... lot of salt. Next time I think I'll cut back on the water and add a little olive oil if needed.Read more

Rich Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wonderfully rich and fresh sauce. Unique and a welcome variation to other red and white sauces. Very easy and made quickly.
