Instructions: Put the pasta water up to boil. Heat serving plates in a warm (200F) oven.

Place the ricotta and milk in a large bowl, and beat with a wire whisk or an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Stir in the Parmesan. Cook the pasta in rapidly boiling water until al dente. Drain, and add to ricotta mixture. Immediately add 1 or 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, and mix from the bottom of the bowl until everything is well combined. Stir in the parsley, and taste to correct salt. Grate some black pepper over the top, and serve immediately on heated plates. Pass extra Parmesan.
