Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden brown and set aside.
Boil the penne pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente.
A minute before the pasta is done, add the washed spinach to the pot to wilt.
Reserve a little of the pasta cooking water, then drain the rest.
Return the pasta and spinach to the pot, add the olive oil, ricotta, and parmesan.
Mix thoroughly, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed for a creamy consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve sprinkled with the toasted pine nuts.
