This Lemon Ricotta Pasta Bowl is a light and fresh dish perfect for hot summer days. The ingredients are served separately, allowing guests to build their own pasta bowls with seafood, steak, or grilled chicken.
1: In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and salt + pepper, and store in the fridge.
2: Boil your favorite pasta in well-salted water.
3: To the bottom of a large serving bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, garlic, shallot, and seasonings.
4: Once your pasta is done cooking, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and set that to the side.
5: Drain the pasta and pour it directly into your serving bowl over the olive oil mixture and toss to combine.
6: Pour in the reserved pasta water to bring the sauce together.
7: Top with lemon zest and fresh basil.
8: Serve in a small bowl with a dollop of the ricotta and top with your Lemon Pasta.
