Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-size saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. When hot, add flour and stir. Add milk all at once and stir with a wire whisk until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in ricotta until it melts. Add 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

Mix pasta with cheese sauce. Stir in dill and almonds. Mix in chicken and season with lots of pepper. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan over top and dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until hot. Source: Rodale's Natural Foods Cookbook.
