Ricotta And Lemon-Basil Pasta

1. 1

   Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.

2. 2

   Combine ricotta, next 5 ingredients (through pepper), and reserved cooking liquid in a large bowl. Add the pasta, and toss to combine. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.

3. 3

   Wine note: Wolf Blass South Australian Chardonnay, around $12, is a classy number that tastes like twice the price. It combines lemony fruit and a soft kiss of toasty oak to complement the zestiness of the pasta and nuttiness from the green beans.
