Steps:
- Mash the ricotta cheese in a bowl and then add the grated rind from the lemon (I used all the rind from one lemon), most of the basil leaves torn into pieces, a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Mix. (you can also use a blender)
- Add half the grated cheese to the ricotta and mix together well. If the sauce seems a bit thick, add a dash of milk. It needs to have the consistency of a dip.
- Cook the pasta al dente, in boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet, reserve a large cup of the cooking water.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pan or pour it into a bowl.
- Add the ricotta cream and half the saved cooking water to the pasta, a little at a time. Continue to mix well until you have a creamy sauce. If needs be, add some more of the pasta cooking water.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkling of ground black pepper, more grated Parmigiano (or vegetarian parmesan) and the remaining basil.

ONE-POT PASTA WITH RICOTTA AND LEMON
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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- In the same pot, make the sauce: Add the ricotta, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir until well combined.
- 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.
- Divide the pasta among bowls and top with some of the sauce that's pooled at the bottom of the pot. Garnish with grated Parmesan, black pepper, red-pepper flakes and basil, if using.
