- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

- 1/2 cup of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, plus extra for garnish

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

- Dried red chili flakes (optional), for a touch of heat

 

Instructions:

1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and, if desired, a pinch of dried red chili flakes for a touch of heat. Sauté the garlic and chili in the olive oil for a few minutes until the garlic becomes golden and fragrant.

3. Add the fresh ricotta to the skillet with the garlic and chili, gently stirring to combine the ingredients. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the ricotta becomes warm and creamy.

4. Add the chopped fresh parsley to the skillet and mix well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir again to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed in the sauce.

5. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the ricotta sauce. Using two forks, gently toss the fettuccine until they are fully coated in the creamy sauce.

6. Sprinkle the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese into the skillet with the fettuccine and toss once more to combine all the ingredients.

7. Transfer the fettuccine with ricotta to a large bowl or serving plates. Sprinkle with some extra grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for an additional garnish of flavor and beauty.
