Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt generously and boil spaghetti until al dente.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place ricotta in a medium sized bowl. Scoop as much pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce. I add about 1 cup. Add salt to taste if necessary.

Step 3

Scoop the cooked spaghetti directly into 4 pasta bowls using a spaghetti scooper.

Step 4

Divide the ricotta mixture among the bowls. Stir the ricotta into the spaghetti and serve immediately.
