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 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound dried pasta, such as farfalle or penne
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Crushed red pepper (optional)
2 ½ cups Quick Fresh Tomato Sauce, warm (see recipe)
6 ounces ultra-fresh ricotta, at room temperature
Grated pecorino
Basil leaves, for garnish

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.

Tips:

For a richer sauce: Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sauté the garlic and shallots.
To add depth of flavor: Use a variety of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
If you don't have fresh herbs: Use a teaspoon of dried oregano or basil.
If you don't have ricotta cheese: Use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
Serve immediately: This sauce is best served fresh, over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
