SUMMER VEGETABLE AND RICOTTA PASTA

From Jaime Geller on The Joy of Kosher

I call this MY DINNER IN A BAG. I park next to the Farmer’s market, grab my basket and pick whatever vegetables look good to me. Race home, boil water and 15 minutes later I have a healthy and homemade dinner. You can vary this dish by using whatever vegetables are in season. The creamy and rich homemade cheese all gooey and folded into the pasta is simply heavenly and is a perfect way to end the day.
