ONE-POT PASTA WITH RICOTTA AND LEMON



One-Pot Pasta With Ricotta and Lemon image

This elegant, bright pasta dish comes together in about the same amount of time it takes to boil noodles and heat up a jar of store-bought marinara. The no-cook sauce is a 50-50 mix of ricotta and Parmesan, with the zest and juice of one lemon thrown in. That's it. To make it more filling, add peas, asparagus or spinach in the last few minutes of the pasta boiling, or stir in fresh arugula or watercress with the sauce in Step 3. It's a weeknight and for-company keeper any way you stir it.

1/4 cup thinly sliced or torn basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Add 1/2 cup pasta water to the sauce and stir until smooth. Add the pasta and continue to stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed for a smooth sauce.

Categories     Pasta     Dinner     Lunch     Low/No Sugar     Vegetarian

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup EVOO
4 Large garlic cloves
1 pound Campanelle pasta
1 cup Flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped stems
2 tablespoons Lemon zest, finely grated
1 1/4 cups Walnuts, toasted well and roughly chopped
1 cup Ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium pan over medium heat until shimmering. Meanwhile, very thinly slice garlic (you should have 1/4 cup). Add to oil, and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is pale golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain garlic chips in a sieve set over a large bowl (reserve oil). Spread garlic chips on a paper towel; season with salt.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until just barely al dente. Drain. Add pasta to oil, and toss. Partially cover, and let cool at least 20 minutes and up to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Roughly chop 3/4 cup parsley leaves, and add them with parsley stems, lemon zest, and walnuts to pasta. Toss to combine. Dot with cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to fully incorporate cheese. Garnish with remaining parsley leaves, and serve with garlic chips.
