[Need a sauce suggestion for arugula pasta]

You could cook a pasta salad with cherry tomato, ricotta or parmesan and parma ham. How does it sound?

[Sweet Easter Italian Spinach and Fruit Pie]

Hello Maggie!

I signed up to the forum just to help you out with this! I am Italian native speaker, so I thought I could search through the Italian recipes on the net for you.

Just to be sure, are you saying the main ingredients of your cake are:

spinach

pinoli

dried fruit

eggs

maybe ricotta

Most recipe I've found are without dried fruit, as it's not really a sweet cake... I've attached links to pictures and recipes, in Italian only, but you can use google translator or I can translate it for you if you need help!

Was it something like this:

(Ingredients: ricotta, spinach, nutmeg, pinoli, olive oil, filo pastry):

Recipe here: Ricotta, spinaci e pinoli 1

Or maybe something like this:

(Ingredients: ricotta, spinach, eggs, nutmeg, pinoli, garlic, parmesan, olive oil, filo pastry):

Recipe here: Ricotta spinaci e pinoli 2

Or like this, recipe and picture here: Ricotta, spinaci e pinoli 3

Either cases the cake is not sweet.

If you are looking for something sweet, I've found another recipe without spinach though. Ingredients are ricotta, eggs, dried fruit, rum, pinoli, raisins, puff pastry and savoiardi. No picture here, sorry, only the recipe: ricotta e pinoli sweet

If you would let me know which is the closest one to yours, I will improve my research
