This is definitely one of my favorite pasta dishes and it’s quite versatile too.

Swaps

• You can use any kind of pasta you like – I suggest penne or spaghetti.
• Use mozarella instead of ricotta (also low FODMAP and both alternatives are lower in fat than cream);
• pine nuts instead of walnuts (they are low FODMAP too but a bit more expensive)
• and you could even try swiss chard, similar to spinach in flavor and texture; it will certainly bring diversity to your plate. And if you’re curious to try this hearty green, take a look at this recipe.

But let’s get back to our Low FODMAP Creamy Spinach and Ricotta Pasta with Walnuts. Actualy it has NO cream! There is no big secret behind it, except using one big skillet to sauté the spinach and well mix all the ingredient before serving.
