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.

BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH RICOTTA RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Baked Spaghetti with Ricotta Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by Rindarose166

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16-ounce) package spaghetti
1 (24-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce or to taste
1 (15-ounce) container Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare the spaghetti according to the directions on the box. Cook to al dente. Drain. Lightly spray nonstick cooking spray inside a 13x9-inch baking pan or 2 9-inch round pans. Toss the spaghetti together with the sauce and pour it into the pan. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, egg, and spices. Spread the cheese stuff over top of the spaghetti. Cover with foil. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Or, cook it at 375°F for 20 minutes and then turn the broiler on high for about 3 minutes. You'll end up with that pizza-like cheese on top. If using the broiler method, keep a close eye on the dish, and remove when the cheese is browned and bubbly. Allow to cool and rest for about 15 minutes, then serve.

CREAMY RICOTTA PASTA SAUCE



Creamy Ricotta Pasta Sauce image

A simple marriage of ricotta cheese, egg, and a secret ingredient make for a sauce that's even creamier than those that use heavy cream, which can be a bit too rich and filling. I mean, come on, I'm trying to save room for the tiramisu. Ricotta gives this sauce a cheesy tanginess that we don't get with heavy cream. I love to top this pasta with lots of ricotta salata, a great summer cheese.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces orecchiette pasta
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ cup pesto, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook orecchiette according to package directions, reducing time by 1 minute, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine ricotta cheese, egg, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Mix until a paste forms. Add 1/3 cup hot pasta water and whisk well. Repeat with another 1/3 cup pasta water.
  • Transfer pasta to a saucepan using a strainer, letting most, but not all, the water drain off. Reserve cooking water. Add the sauce mixture and turn heat to medium. Cook and stir until sauce thickens enough to coat the pasta evenly, about 2 minutes. Add more pasta water if sauce gets too thick. Stir in pesto. Taste and season as desired. Transfer pasta to a warm bowl.
