Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Drain sun-dried tomatoes thoroughly to prevent excess oil from making the sauce greasy.
Stir the ricotta and spinach mixture gently midway through roasting to ensure even cooking and prevent the sauce from scorching on the bottom.
Use full-fat ricotta for a creamier, richer sauce; low-fat versions can turn grainy.
Add freshly cracked black pepper at the end to enhance the tangy flavor without overpowering the delicate sauce.

Substitutions

Ricotta → mascarpone or full-fat Greek yogurt (reduces tanginess slightly)
Sun-dried tomatoes → diced fresh tomatoes simmered with 1 tbsp tomato paste (adjust salt)
Baby spinach → fresh kale or arugula (add in final 2 minutes to avoid bitterness)
Bone-in chicken breasts → bone-in thighs (increase roasting time to 25–30 minutes)
