Ingredients

  • 6 ounces fusilloni pasta
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained
  • ¼ cup finely grated Grana Padano cheese
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fusilloni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.

Step 2
Whisk ricotta, grated Grana padano, turmeric, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stir in enough pasta water to give the sauce a creamy consistency.

Step 3
Drain the pasta, reserving a bit more pasta water. Fold the pasta into the sauce, adding a bit of pasta water if necessary. Season with salt.
