PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA
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.

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.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, so I used Parmesan cheese instead. The dish was still delicious!
Craig Duncan
[email protected]This pasta dish was okay, but I've definitely had better. The sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was watery and the ricotta cheese didn't add much flavor.

[email protected]This pasta dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and herbs.

[email protected]I love this recipe because it's so versatile. I've used different types of pasta, tomatoes, and cheeses, and it always turns out great. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

[email protected]This is my new favorite pasta recipe. The sauce is so easy to make and the ricotta adds a delicious creaminess. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it many more times in the future.

[email protected]This pasta dish was a hit with my family! The fresh tomato sauce was bursting with flavor, and the ricotta cheese added a creamy richness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this again.
