Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
12 ounces cavatelli pasta
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 cup torn fresh basil
1 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is soft but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the basil and tomatoes with their juice. Increase the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cavatelli and the reserved cooking water to the skillet; cook, tossing, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta and pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tomato sauce. I simply reheated some sauce I had in the freezer and tossed it with the cavatelli. The ricotta made it extra creamy and delicious.
