INGREDIENTS
2 oz Cavatappi Pasta (dry)
0.75 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Fresh Chives
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the cavatappi pasta, cooking until al dente according to package instructions.
While the pasta cooks, in a medium bowl combine the low-fat ricotta cheese with lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Finely chop the fresh basil, parsley, and chives, then stir them into the ricotta mixture.
Drain the pasta, reserving a small splash of cooking water, and return the pasta to the pot.
Fold the creamy ricotta and herb mixture into the hot pasta, adding reserved water as needed to achieve a silky consistency.
Plate the pasta and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Add an extra twist of freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the bright, creamy flavors in each bite.
