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.

Cacio e Pepe Is The Easiest Dinner Imagineable

This light and zesty lemon ricotta pasta with spinach makes a delish weeknight meal ready in less than 15 minutes. Simple, fresh ingredients, delicious flavor, and minimal effort.

Lemon ricotta pasta & spinach

(9 ounces 250 grams) whole-milk ricotta

oz (230 grams) fresh baby spinach, washed

unwaxed lemon, zest and juice

lemon ((optional))

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

garlic clove, grated or pressed

salt and black pepper,

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Meanwhile, make the ricotta sauce.

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, olive oil, parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Season with 1/4 tsp of salt and a good pinch of pepper.

Stir until well combined, taste and make sure you&#x27;re happy with the seasoning.

In the last minute of the pasta&#039;s cooking time, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then and add spinach to the pot. Stir well and push the leaves down to submerge them in water.

After 1 minute, drain and return pasta and spinach to the same pot.

Add the ricotta sauce and part of the reserved cooking water. Stir well to evenly coat the pasta in the sauce, add more cooking water as needed, you want a smooth and creamy texture.

Serve immediately and garnish with grated or shaved Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and lemon wedges if desired (for extra freshly squeezed juice, but I leave it optional). Plus, I love adding a good pinch of red pepper flakes, you might give it a go. Enjoy!
