I saw this post over on stone soup, and thought it looked like a simple and delicious meal. Dino had requested some low carb meals, so this looked perfect. It was really easy to put together, and seasoned up with enough salt and pepper, it made for a really nice alternative to a pasta dinner. The mint was a nice way to add some freshness to the dish. I added the parmesan at the end with the ricotta and stirred it all together. The ricotta makes this dish nice and creamy. Yum!
