Blistered Levantine Lemon Ricotta

Method

1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the lemon ricotta and let it blistered, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the kosher salt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a knob of butter right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
