Lemon Pasta

By lakecar

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. pasta (I used Cavatappi but you could use anything.)
• 1 Lemon
• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan
• 2 oz. ricotta or cottage cheese
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add salt and pasta. Cook to Al Dente.
While the pasta is cooking, grate the zest of the lemon into a large bowl.
Add the juice of half the lemon.
(You can add more juice at the end of you want more flavor.)
Add the cheeses, olive oil, pinch of salt and several grinds of fresh pepper.
Add a small ladle of pasta water and whisk until smooth.
When pasta is cooked, drain and add to the lemon mixture.
Toss and serve.
