Ingredients

• 400 grams linguine
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup reserved pasta water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and integrated into the cream sauce.

Step 5

Add the ricotta cheese and mix until smooth and creamy. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked linguine into the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 7

If the sauce seems too thick, stir in small amounts of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the pasta and give it a final toss for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan on the side, if desired.
