Photo: Whole-Wheat Linguine with Green Beans, Ricotta, and Lemon Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound whole-wheat linguine
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 pound French green beans, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 lemon, zested
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the hot pasta to a large bowl and add the ricotta cheese. Toss to combine.
Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans, garlic, salt, and pepper and saute for 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid and continue cooking until tender, about 4 more minutes. Add the pasta with ricotta to the pan with the green beans and toss to combine. Add the tomatoes and gently toss. Transfer to a serving plate and top with lemon zest. Serve.

Hi
This is a very tasty dish ! I like how it is a substantial and (yet light veg. dish and how easily one can add a favourite meat to it.
I replaced the ricotta with grated cheddar and goat cheese, as I did not have any ricotta in my fridge. It came out well.
Will do this again.
Xx

I was a dissapointed by this recipe. I LOVE Giada and watched her make this recipe on her show and it looked really good. My husband wouldn't even eat it. I think it's the ricotta that made it pretty bland. I won't be making this one again.

We are avid foodie fans, love to cook and have been cooking for years. We normally love Giada's recipes, but this one just kinda missed the mark for us. It was initially quite bland, so we jazzed it up with parmesan, salt & pepper, and it was so-so at best. But we do love Giada's cooking, have to say. We've just had better luck with many of her other recipes.
