Ingredients

  • ¾ pound spaghetti
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, stir in spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, reserving 2 tablespoons of cooking water.

Step 2
Stir garlic, ricotta, and basil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in spaghetti and reserved cooking water. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
