Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, reserving a cup of pasta water before draining.

Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Combine the Ingredients: Add the hot, drained pasta to the ricotta mixture, tossing gently to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed for consistency.

Finish with Parmesan: Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Adjust seasoning as necessary and serve immediately while hot!
