This creamy + decadent lemon ricotta pasta dish is a summer pasta favorite. Bright, zesty and full of flavor, it's a versatile dish that pairs well with chicken or seafood, veggies or herbs. You can make this dish using gluten free pasta but since we use two pans, you can also use the same sauce for the non-gluten free folks in your home!

Boil pasta according to package instructions
While pasta cooks, in a large mixing bowl whisk together ricotta, parmesan and pecorino romano cheeses with lemon juice, lemon zest + fresh black pepper. Set aside until pasta is finished cooking.
Once pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water + drain the remaining water from the pot.
Transfer pasta back to the pot and stir in ricotta cheese mixture. Gradually add reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time until sauce is silky and thin but still creamy.
Garnish with fresh chopped basil leaves + crushed red pepper flakes if desired and serve.
