Growing up, on Sundays for dinner, my Grandmother always made 2 bowls of pasta. One with red sauce and one with ricotta. My Dad always preferred ricotta to sauce.  I was never a fan of it when I was younger, but certainly am now. 
Yesterday I bought some terrific local ricotta from Hastings Farm in Suffield, Ct and wanted to showcase it. So I made one of the most basic and yet delicious pastas. 10 minutes start to finish and that includes the boiling of the pasta.

Few ingredients + exceptional quality = excellent outcome 👌

Bucatini with Lemon Ricotta
.
.
1 lb bucatini pasta 
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
Salt & pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped parsley .

In a bowl, combine ricotta, oil, cheese, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt, pepper and chili  flakes. Set aside.

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain and return pasta to pot. 
Add ricotta mixture, parsley and reserved pasta water to pasta and toss. Check for seasoning. Serve with more cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
