One Pot Lemon Ricotta Pasta is a delightful and creamy dish, combining the freshness of lemon with the richness of ricotta cheese, all cooked in one pot for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz of your preferred pasta
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add vegetable broth, pasta, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed.

  5. Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm, topped with fresh basil and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
