Re: Easter
Linguine with Ricotta
Always use fresh pasta for holiday meals, it is much better.
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) sweet butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
3/4 pound fresh ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
9 ounces fresh linguine
salt and pepper
grated Parmesan & Pecorino cheeses
Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute' 2 minutes. Combine ricotta, cream, parsley and butter mixture in large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook fresh linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain. Toss with ricotta mixture. Serve immediately with a combination of Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses.
