for the pesto:
Instructions
Step 1
Cook pasta as per packaging instructions. While waiting for pasta to cook, blend all ingredients for the pesto in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
Step 2
Once pasta is cooked, drain, reserving at least a cup of the pasta water, then set aside.
Step 3
Combine pesto and ricotta in a pan or skillet, along with 2 tbsp of pasta water first. Stir to make a cream sauce, adding more pasta water as needed. You may also add more pesto or ricotta for more sauce.
Step 4
Add apple cider vinegar, then transfer cooked pasta backed to the pan. Stir well to coat with sauce.
Step 5
Season with salt and black pepper. Add a few basil leaves to garnish, red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, then serve immediately.
