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.

Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 ½ pounds Roma tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons dried rosemary

19 ounces ground hot Italian sausage
½ sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss tomatoes, 4 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Place tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter the sauce will be. If you don't have ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead.
  • Add a little sugar: A little bit of sugar can help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes. If you're using canned tomatoes, you may not need to add any sugar.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Italian cuisine. Use a good quality olive oil to get the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened, but it should not be overcooked. Overcooked sauce will be bland and watery.
  • Serve with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, can add a lot of flavor to the dish. Serve the sauce with fresh herbs sprinkled on top.

Conclusion:

Broken noodles with tomato sauce and ricotta is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sauce is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil, and it is simmered until it is slightly thickened. The noodles are cooked al dente and then tossed with the sauce.
