Place ricotta in cheesecloth to form a bundle tie the top with butcher’s twine. Hang this over a bowl for 1-2 hours. This will pull moisture out of the ricotta and concentrate the flavor making it also easier to crumble.
Toss arugula and basil with lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Portion into chilled salad bowls.
