- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, reserving about 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.

- Stir in 15 ounces of ricotta cheese until smooth.
- Add the zest and juice of 1 large lemon.
- Gradually whisk in reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Toss the drained pasta with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Add the lemon ricotta sauce to the pasta and toss gently to combine.
- Divide the pasta among serving plates.
- Garnish with 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
