Chef's Notes
Do not let the ricotta mixture cook over direct heat, as it will break and curdle. Rely entirely on the residual heat of the pasta and the magic of the starchy water to create a velvety emulsion.
Pro Tip
Always grate your lemon zest right into the ricotta before adding the juice so the aromatic citrus oils infuse deeply into the dairy fats.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump all the boiling pasta water down the drain before saving your cup, your sauce will seize into dry, chalky clumps and you will weep tears of pure culinary despair.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the ricotta cheese apply for a promotion? It wanted to move up from a spread to a high-society pasta sauce.
The Culinary Science
The starch released from boiling penne pasta acts as an emulsifying agent, binding the oils in the ricotta and olive oil together with water to form a glossy, cohesive sauce.
