Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked pasta, such as seashell or campanelle 1 cup (8 ounces) part-skim ricotta cheese 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Lemon wedges (optional) Preparation
-
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
-
Combine ricotta, next 5 ingredients (through pepper), and reserved cooking liquid in a large bowl. Add the pasta, and toss to combine. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
Wine note: Wolf Blass South Australian Chardonnay, around $12, is a classy number that tastes like twice the price. It combines lemony fruit and a soft kiss of toasty oak to complement the zestiness of the pasta and nuttiness from the green beans.
bon appetit
