Method
- Put salted water on and cook the pasta a minute short of the packet time.
- Zest the lemon (the yellow part only) and squeeze out the juice.
- In a bowl mix the ricotta with the grated Parmesan, the olive oil, the lemon zest, the juice and plenty of coarsely ground pepper.
- Before you drain the pasta, lift out a mugful of the cooking water. That starch is the only thing that will bring the sauce together.
- Move the hot pasta into the bowl with the ricotta and add the cooking water a spoonful at a time, until the sauce coats every strand. Don’t do this over the hob — the ricotta would split.
- Adjust the salt and pepper and serve straight away.
