Lemony Ricotta Pasta w/Basil - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Ericarodrigues04
This is a very rich dish that can be complimented with chicken or turkey (turkey meatballs seen in photos). It is extremely quick with almost no preparation.

Ingredients
1 lb penne or gemili pasta
15 ounce package fresh ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
zest of 1 lemon
juice of half the lemon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed basil, sliced thin
Instructions
Set a pot of water to boil. When it boils, add a few teaspoons of salt and the pasta.
In a metal bowl wide enough to fit over the top of the pot, mix together the remaining ingredients, excluding the basil. When there are 2 minutes remaining in the pasta’s cooking time, place the bowl over the pot and slowly stir the ricotta and other ingredients. You should see it loosening as it warms.
When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it, add the basil to the bowl or sauce and toss with the drained pasta.
