A one pot Creamy Lemon Ricotta Pasta with Asparagus for two!
By now you probably already know this about me, but in case you haven’t figured it out…
I like pasta.
No.
I should be more honest.
I LOVE PASTA!!!
Yes, that sentence needed all capital letters & 3 exclamation points. And even still, I don’t think anyone will ever understand just how much I love pasta. It’s one of those foods that I can easily eat every day. There are simply so many ways to enjoy it!
Like this Creamy Lemon Ricotta Pasta with Asparagus.
I am already a huge fan of lemon, ricotta, & asparagus, but then, when you pair the three together with some herbs & cream you know you are in for a special treat.
Plus it creates one of my favorite color schemes. White & green!
And it’s a combination that not only looks good but tastes great too!
So if you are looking for a simple recipe, perfect for two, & that can be created using just one pot or pan, then you are going to love this Creamy Lemon Ricotta Pasta with asparagus. If you are cooking for more than two you can easily double or triple the recipe to feed all of your family & friends.
And if you are looking for more fresh summer pasta recipes than you are in luck! I have several new pasta recipes this season! Like:
