Pasta With Ricotta, Herbs, and Lemon
Ingredients
1 1-pound box penne
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup fresh ricotta
1/3 cup roughly chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as chervil, tarragon, and flat-leaf parsley) **We tried basil
zest of 1 lemon, grated
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserving ⅓ cup of the water, drain the pasta, then return it to the pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, ricotta, and reserved pasta water until a rich, creamy sauce forms.
