Lemon Ricotta Pasta {A Guest Post!}
Yes, you’re at the right blog- this is In Katrina’s Kitchen. No, sadly I did not make that mouth-watering dish. Today I have the pleasure of introducing to you Shea from Dixie Chik Cooks. I thought you all might like something delicious and savory to counter all of those sweets you have around the house now.
{Lemon Ricotta Pasta from Dixie Chik Cooks}
Hello! My name is Shea and I host Dixie Chik Cooks. I’m so excited to be guest blogging for Katrina today! Don’t you just love her? 😉
Today I am sharing a recent dish I made, Lemon Ricotta Pasta. I started out making a simple creamy sauce to accommodate my daughter’s pickiness… but after throwing this in and that the end result was a much more complex (and yummy) flavor than I expected. This is light enough for a side dish, but definitely has just enough richness to be a main. I put grilled chicken with it and it was delicious. Feel free to alter the ingredients to your taste – I think next time I’ll be adding more lemon and cayenne.
Lemon Ricotta Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz container whole-milk Ricotta cheese
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Spaghetti, cooked
Instructions
- Swirl about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the ricotta cheese and give it a good whisk. Add the rest of the ingredients, whisk until all combined and bring to a slow boil.
- Cover with a lid, but keep an eye on it. Simmer for about 5 minutes or so until thickened. If it's too thin, whisk in a little spoonful of flour and cook a few minutes longer.
- Serve over pasta. Enjoy...
