This simple, spectacular lemony pasta takes just 20 minutes to prepare! You can also mix it up by adding sauteed asparagus or snap peas, or substituting the pasta for zucchini spirals for a gluten-free dish.
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce package whole wheat linguine
- 1 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta water

- 2 tablespoons lemon zest

- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup chopped chives
Preparation
- Cook pasta al dente in salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and drain the linguine in a colander, shaking to remove any excess water.
- Mix the ricotta, reserved pasta liquid, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and salt in a serving bowl. Toss with the warm pasta, top with grated Parmesan and chives. Serve immediately.
