This dish, a limited time delight only for the month of May, includes Lemon-Ricotta Rigatoni with roasted cherry tomatoes finished with Lemon zest.
Lemon ricotta has a rich history in Italian cuisine. Its origins can be traced back to the southern regions of Italy, where ricotta cheese was traditionally made from sheep’s milk. The addition of lemon zest to the creamy ricotta creates a refreshing and tangy flavor profile. This versatile ingredient has been use in both savory and sweet dishes, from pasta fillings to decadent desserts like lemon ricotta cake. Its popularity has spread beyond Italy, becoming a beloved ingredient in many kitchens around the world.
Rigatoni, a popular type of pasta, name comes from the Italian word “rigato,” meaning ridged or lined. This pasta is characterized by its tube-like shape and ridges, which help sauces cling to it.
