Lemon Ricotta Pasta With Parsley And Chives

• 1 pound linguine or fettuccine
• zest and juice of one lemon
• 2 tablespoons mint-flavored olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 0.25 cups chopped parsley
• 0.25 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cups parmesan-romano cheese
• 0.5 cups reserved pasta water
• salt (to taste)

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dried pasta and cook according to package instructions. I cook mine until "al dente," which usually takes 7-8 minutes. Reserve at least 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking liquid when it is done.
2. As the pasta cooks, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, chives, parsley and ricotta in a large bowl.
3. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the bowl along with the pat of butter. Stir a few times to let the butter melt into everything. Add the parmesan-romano cheese and stir to combine. Add some reserved pasta cooking liquid until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
4. Add salt to taste and garnish with extra cheese.
