Mezzi Rigatoni pasta is tossed with creamy ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice and chili flakes. The dish is then topped with leafy arugula, basil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Barilla^® Al Bronzo^® Mezzi Rigatoni pasta is made by extruding dough through a bronze die that is micro engraved.

Method

Step 1

Make lemon ricotta sauce in a pot or in a large skillet. Add ricotta, Parmigiano, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste; stir until well until combined.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water.

Step 3

While pasta is cooking, stir or whisk in ½ cup of pasta cooking water to the sauce until smooth.

Step 4

Drain pasta and add to the sauce. Stir and toss vigorously until the pasta is well coated, adding more pasta water to loosen up the sauce as needed for a smooth sauce.

Step 5

Stir in the arugula.

Step 6

Serve immediately and top with remaining sauce from the pan and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with extra Parmigiano cheese, red-pepper flakes, torn basil (optional) and extra lemon wedges on the side.
