Step 1
Bring a pot of water to boil. When it's boiling, add salt. Throw the pasta in and cook until it's al dente. Be sure to reserve some pasta water.
Step 2
5-7 minutes before the pasta is done cooking, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic clove. Swirl it around in the olive oil to give it a slight garlic flavor, and remove it when it starts to sizzle, a few minutes.
Step 3
Add the ricotta to the pan, and heat it slightly, until it melts down and becomes creamy, 2-3 minutes. If the pasta isn't cooked yet, turn the heat down to low.
Step 4
Add the pasta to the ricotta, and still over medium heat, mix the pasta in with the ricotta.
Step 5
Add a bit of pasta water to help emulsify the dish, and make it even creamier. Add parmigiano reggiano and mix again. Add pasta water if needed.
Step 6
Plate and enjoy!
