PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL
Steps:
- Heat the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan or saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions, garlic and tomatoes with the juice. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the penne and 2 tablespoons salt and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
- Mash the tomatoes again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin out the sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional pasta water if necessary.
- Transfer the pasta to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the pan and combine. Cook the pasta in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more grated cheese as the pasta cooks. Add some of the basil and parsley and the chile flakes and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the pasta to a large shallow serving dish and top with freshly grated cheese. Top with the ricotta and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley; serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your sauce will be.
- Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce. Roasting intensifies the tomatoes' flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth of flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. If you do, they will steam instead of roasting.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, such as penne, spaghetti, or rigatoni.
