Pasta with Ricotta and Lemon
Report
Pasta with ricotta and lemon is one of the most popular quick and easy pasta recipes.It's delicious in its simplicity and refined. You can make it in a very short time; just the time it takes to cook the pasta! I choose bucatini, but of course you can choose the pasta you prefer, short or long.It's a creamy and delicate pasta dish that combines the creaminess of ricotta with the flavor of lemon zest, fresh basil and black pepper. The dish is ready in 15 minutes!

Ingredients
- 350 g pasta ¾ pound, bucatini or the pasta you like, long or short
- 250 g ricotta cheese ~9 oz
- 100 g parmigiano reggiano ~1 cup, grated
- ½ lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- fresh basil ~10 leaves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When it boils, add the necessary amount of salt. Then add the pasta and while it's cooking, prepare the sauce.
- Place the fresh ricotta in a large bowl. You will be tossing the pasta in this bowl, so it needs to be quite large. Then add the grated Parmigiano cheese. Mix these ingredients together. Lastly, add the extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the grated lemon zest and fresh basil chopped with your hands. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Drain the pasta al dente directly into the bowl with the ricotta and lemon sauce. Mix well, adding a little cooking water, just enough to make a creamy sauce.
- Transfer the pasta with ricotta and lemon to serving plates and add a drizzle of oil. Decorate with a few basil leaves, a little pepper and more lemon zest.
