Vegetarian Lemon Ricotta Pasta
Description
Bright, breezy, and impossibly creamy, our Vegetarian Lemon Ricotta Pasta captures the sunny spirit of the Amalfi coast in a single twirl of the fork. Al dente pasta noodles are cloaked in a silken ricotta sauce kissed with fresh lemon zest and juice, then tossed with ribbons of wilted spinach and a flutter of Parmesan. Every bite balances tangy citrus sparkle against mellow, luxurious dairy richness, while speckles of cracked pepper and basil keep things lively. Because the sauce builds right in the pan—sautéed shallot and garlic mingle with ricotta, reserved pasta water, and that all-important squeeze of lemon—dinner lands on the table in under 30 minutes. It’s week-night easy yet dinner-party elegant: pair it with a crisp green salad, a slice of garlic bread, and a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio and you’ve got a restaurant-quality meal without leaving home.
