Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, reserving 2 tablespoons of cooking water.
  • Stir garlic, ricotta, and basil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in spaghetti and reserved cooking water. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.
