Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¾ pound spaghetti

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, stir in spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, reserving 2 tablespoons of cooking water.

  2. Stir garlic, ricotta, and basil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in spaghetti and reserved cooking water. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
