With the motor still running, add drizzles of olive oil and continue pulsing until combined and relatively smooth.
Toss prepared pesto with cooked spaghetti noodles to generously coat. Divide between serving bowls.
Top each serving with a dollop of prepared lemon ricotta cheese and garnish with a few sprinkles of lemon zest and ground black pepper, before serving.
