Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the bowl with the ricotta mixture. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired creaminess.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese.
