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

Garnishing

    Garnish and Serve

    In a small pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Serve the pasta topped with crispy sage and grated Parmesan cheese.
