PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA



Pasta With Fresh Tomato Sauce and Ricotta image

This wonderful pasta is made with nothing more than fresh tomato sauce and good ricotta, plus a little pecorino. It's most delicious if you keep the pasta quite al dente; use just enough sauce, no more; give it a good pinch of crushed red pepper; and season it with enough salt of course.

Categories     easy, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dried pasta, such as farfalle or penne
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Crushed red pepper (optional)
2 ½ cups Quick Fresh Tomato Sauce, warm (see recipe)
6 ounces ultra-fresh ricotta, at room temperature
Grated pecorino
Basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted water, making sure to keep it quite al dente.
  • Put butter in a wide deep skillet over medium heat. Add drained pasta to the pan and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, if using.
  • Add tomato sauce gradually and stir to coat pasta, using only enough sauce for a light coating (you may not need the entire 2 1/2 cups).
  • Transfer pasta to a warm serving bowl and dot top with spoonfuls of ricotta. Sprinkle lightly with pecorino and garnish with a few torn basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the sauce. This will give it the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the sauce watery.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it according to the package directions, or until it is al dente.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This penne with quick tomato sauce and ricotta cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is made with fresh, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and basil, and it is simmered until it is thick and flavorful. The pasta is cooked al dente and then tossed with the sauce and ricotta cheese.
