How to Make Pasta Shrimp With Ricotta Cheese Sauce
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
- Stir in ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Serve immediately and garnish with extra basil, if desired.
