Lemon Ricotta Pasta (Light and Creamy Dinner)
Silky pasta tossed with creamy ricotta, fresh lemon zest and juice, Parmesan, and a handful of fresh basil — a light, elegant Italian-inspired dinner that comes together in 15 minutes. No cooking the sauce, no heavy cream — just the natural creaminess of ricotta transformed by pasta water into a glossy, luxurious coating.
