Giada De Laurentiis's Whole-Wheat Linguine with Green Beans, Ricotta, and Lemon Not all cream sauces are super-rich. This pasta gets its creamy sauce from a combination of part-skim ricotta and pasta water, which come together to make a really easy, lighter cream sauce. Don't leave out the lemon zest; it brightens the flavor and adds a wonderful lemony aroma as well. --Giada De Laurentiis Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites Cookbook Hardcover Italy meets California 100 Healthy Recipes
