Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes.  Reserve ¼ cup of the hot pasta water in a bowl. Drain the pasta and set aside in the pot.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it sizzles, about 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Stir in ricotta cheese and reserved pasta water. Mix well until creamy.

Step 4

Add cooked pasta to the pan and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 5

Top with pine nuts and parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil and lemon zest, if desired.
