Directions:
Cook the pasta according to package instructions, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water, stirring until a creamy sauce forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Tear the burrata into chunks and add it to the pasta, allowing it to melt slightly into the sauce.
