Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooked pasta to the ricotta mixture along with the garlic oil. Toss to coat evenly, adding a bit of reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and extra Parmesan if desired.
