Ricotta Spaghetti


I found this recipe in the 4 Ingredients "Herb it Up" book.  It was a perfect Friday night meal, on one of those days where I got home at 5pm - and it was ready by 5:30.  I know there's 5 ingredients in this one - being a mum, I just couldn't help but add the broccoli!  Plus a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a generous twist of salt & pepper.  Enjoy!
