I love the idea of using arugula in this. The flavor perfectly complemented the citrus, and who doesn't love cheesy pasta? It was definitely a winner!

I am loving EVERYTHING about this pasta dish- especially the lemon ricotta sauce! :) Definitely saving this recipe for our next pasta night.

Great flavors, hearty and comforting this easy to make pasta is perfect for a weeknight meal.

Oh hey now, a new favorite dinner! Love lemon, love ricotta and love arugula!! Tasty!

I made this pasta for dinner last night and it was fantastic! The lemon flavor was just right- can't wait to make it all summer long!

I have made this multiple times but substituting cream cheese for ricotta (because that's what I had) and using baby spinach. Delicious.
I also usually use wholemeal pasta.

Such a tasty combination of flavors, and the lemon-peppery arugula is perfect in it. Thanks for the recipe!

Ohhhh my gosh was this good!! I am so happy to have found this recipe!

Absolutely delicious! I love lemony pasta and this one did not disappoint.
