Ricotta Pasta

½ cup freshly grated parmesan

Salt and pepper (to season)

ricotta ((250 grams))

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your desired pasta shape until al dente making sure to reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Pass the ricotta through a sieve and add to a mixing bowl with parmesan, salt and a generous amount of cracked black pepper.

Drain the pasta once cooked then add it back to the pot. Add the ricotta mixture and stir until completely coated.

Add a splash of pasta water and stir again to loosen, the pasta sauce should be smooth and creamy, serve.

Ricotta cheese and pepper version

Pasta with Ricotta Recipe

spaghetti ((about 225 grams))

whole milk ricotta

salt (to taste)

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

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.

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

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