I tried ricotta in place of heavy cream in the sauce. Had to add bit of half and half at the end to thin it out a bit. Sauce was not quite as attractive as a nice creamy sauce, but the taste and texture was pretty nice.

Try whipping the ricotta first in a blender or food processor (you can thin it out with some heavy cream at that point if necessary). It's amazing what a difference in texture it makes.

You can use pasta water for that, either before (whipping it with the ricotta) or after, while you are tossing it.
