Some recipes call for adding quite a bit of olive oil to the lemon ricotta mixture for a richer sauce. This is the simplest one I have found that always hits the spot and uses the most minimal ingredients. There are quite a few versions out there of this lemon ricotta recipe. Veggies like that will have to be either blanched or pan fried before adding them in to the pasta though.

ARUGULA - I love the peppery taste of arugula against the creamy lemony flavours in this pasta but feel free to substitute the arugula with kale, spinach, or other vegetables like broccoli, peas or green beans.Freshly grated from a block is always best instead of the pre grated stuff you can get in a bottle as it will incorporate into the sauce better and it also tastes better too. PARMESAN CHEESE - Parmesan cheese is the most common cheese for this recipe but you can substitute it with Pecorino as well.I like to make mine as stated in the recipe below and serve it with extra wedges on the side. You can add more lemon juice and zest according to taste. LEMON - Freshly squeezed is always best and nothing beats that fresh zest.The higher fat content the richer the sauce. The whole sauce is based on it so definitely use one you love.

RICOTTA - Make sure to use a good quality one that you love the taste of and also make sure it’s full fat.

To make it gluten-free, you can use any gluten-free pasta of your choice. Very small pasta shapes like orzo or even elbow macaroni don’t work as well in the recipe. I love spaghetti, but penne, fusilli, and rigatoni.

PASTA - you can use any short, large or long pasta shapes that work well to capture the creamy ricotta.

The ingredients are pretty much in the name of this simple and tasty pasta dish. You cannot beat that if you are looking for a zesty, lemony and creamy pasta. Simple, fresh ingredients, delicious flavours, and minimal effort. It’s done in 20 min or less and is so easy to make - a favourite for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Of course, regular lemons would be just fine in this dish, but I wanted to use my Meyer lemons instead.This Lemon Ricotta Pasta is the perfect vegetarian spring pasta dish that is bright and flavourful and is made with ricotta, lemon juice, parmesan cheese and pasta water. Although I found them an excellent addition, they really aren’t necessary. I have added sliced lemon supremes in my dish. You could include some lightly toasted pine nuts on top of the pasta when serving, which would add some texture, and although I added fresh thyme, fresh chopped rosemary could be used in its place. I would use fettuccine, either fresh or dried, as I have, or spaghetti or linguini. I’ve made this dish twice so far in the past couple of weeks while I tried to find the best combination of ingredients, and I think this version is my favorite. Lemons add a brightness to any dish, and pairing lemons with a creamy cheese sauce may sound odd, but I promise you it is irresistible. Lemon pasta has been a favorite of mine ever since I tasted it in Amalfi, where the lemons grow to the size of small melons. They are sweet enough that they can even be added raw to various dishes, although you probably still wouldn’t want to eat one whole raw like you would an orange.

Meyer lemons do taste lemony, and have acidity, but are significantly less tart than regular lemons. It is a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo. Meyer lemons are a hybrid citrus fruit native to China. While I was shopping last week, I found Meyer lemons in a local store and just had to buy some. I do like to cook with lemons during the colder months as the bright flavor that lemons add helps me forget the colder temperatures and dreary skies outside. Come January, some great citrus fruit options begin to show up in our local markets, including Meyer lemons and blood oranges. I do include lots of winter vegetables in our meals, and we eat a lot of berries, apples, and pears. We also tend to eat more meat-based dishes that I roast or braise. During the colder months, I tend to prepare heartier meals, including soups, stews, and polenta.
