basil,

This was fabulous!  The recipe “as is” is perfect. I had a bit of baby arugula in the fridge to use up, so I put a couple of handfuls in at the end and then garnished the top with a bit as well. Did not use the basil. Also wanted some protein, so just a simple grilled chicken breast sliced thin and served with the pasta was perfect!  Definitely in the rotation now.

I made the ricotta from scratch with lemon juice and added capers to the pasta because I didn’t have fresh basil. Served with flank steak and salad. The family really loved the meal, I will definitely serve again.

Don't pay attention to the comments about this recipe being gross or tasteless, unless you have the palette of a 5-year-old. This recipe is simple and delicious, as italian cuisine should be.

Love it.  I added some home grown tomato
to the top.

this was easy and delicious! my only suggestion is to use 1.5 lemons instead of 1 because when I tasted the sauce initially, the lemon was a little too subtle. however, I only needed to add another half of a lemon to make the taste stronger! would definitely recommend this recipe

This is a great Spring/Summer pasta.  My family really enjoyed it.

Without the lemon juice this would be a really good recipe. The lemon juice was extremely overpowering and did not compliment the delicate flavor of the ricotta cheese well at all. If I make this again it will be with no lemon juice, some garlic, and more basil.

Was it supposed to be a 1/2 cup of olive oil? I did that and it made it taste so strong of only olive oil. I had to add a lot of basil, extra ricotta and a ton of lemon.

This is surprisingly delicious!!
I made it with chicken thighs seasoned with lemon pepper , basil , and garlic.
Only used a TBSP or so of EVOO. I tasted the mixture as I made it and added just an extra squeeze of lemon, as well as  more lemon pepper to the sauce; Rather than plain pepper. I used 1/2 a container of fresh 3cheese Italian blend cheese. Topped with a few leaves of chopped basil.
Hubby loved this as well.
Next time I would add some veges.

So easy, so delish, so refreshing.  I added garlic sea salt and served with side of asparagus.

Looking for something quick and easy to make for dinner. This was very tasty. I added some chopped tomatoes for color.

This was a fantastic dish! Made it for Mother’s Day dinner, and it was a huge hit.
Yes, fresh peas would be delish.
I did use an immersion blender on the cheese/ oil/ lemon mix, and that made it pretty and creamy.
This is a must make again!

Delicious. Followed the recipe and added garlic. Would make again.

Aweful recipe. I often make lemon pasta and thought adding the ricotta might be an interesting twist. Wrong. It just makes the dish taste bland. If you have extra ricotta cheese, I suggest making lemon pasta (leaving out the initial 1/4 cup water at the beginning and only adding it after if too thick) and the putting a dollop of the cheese on before serving with fresh italian parsley)

Very good. Nice compliment to any kind of meat . You could even put seafood in it and have it as your main course.

Family fav!  I either double recipe or add grilled chicken to cover feeding my college age kids.

red chili pepper flakes (*optional)

basil leaves (*chopped or torn)

Parsley

Parmesan Cheese (*finely grated, see Note below)

lemon juice

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

Towards the end of cooking reserve 3/4 cup of pasta cooking water.

Pasta

Wash the lemons and use a vegetable peeler to zest them, avoiding the white pith.

In a blender, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Ricotta Mixture

While the pasta water comes to a boil, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. 

Add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes. 

Add the zucchini and continue sautéing until tender and slightly golden, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in the peas and cook until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Vegetables

In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low, then add the lemon ricotta mixture to the skillet and the parmesan cheese. Stir well.

Gradually whisk in the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness and is smooth and creamy. Ensure the heat is kept low to prevent curdling.

Add the cooked pasta and sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped basil, parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Prepare the Sauce

Parmesan cheese,

basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

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.

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.

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

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

A delicious and quick creamy lemon ricotta pasta. The perfect light pasta dish for the warmer months (or any time of year!).

Easy and Quick Lemon Ricotta Pasta

dried pasta pasta

garlic (finely minced)

lemon juice (plus zest for serving)

parmesan (finely grated)

flakey sea salt

pasta water

basil leaves

Optional red pepper flakes

Cook your pasta in a pot of well salted water and reserve a cup of the cooking water right before draining.

In a bowl add the ricotta, parmesan, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and mix really well. It might taste a little salty but it will be diluted when mixed with pasta. Use more or less lemon juice to taste.

When pasta is almost cooked add 1/2 cup of the pasta water into the ricotta mixture and mix really well. You should have quite a loose smooth mixture.

Drain your pasta then add to a large skillet over a low heat with a little splash of pasta water.

Pour in the ricotta mixture and toss well. Let it gently warm through over the low heat for a minute until the sauce clings to the pasta well. Add more pasta water if you need to loosen.

Serve with some extra grated parmesan, grated lemon zest and the basil leaves.

Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you want a little kick.

My entire family loved this light, fresh approach to pasta! The lemon was especially delicious with the ricotta cheese. A recipe that we will add to our "favorites". Thank you!
