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 was okay. It wasn't the best pasta dish I've ever had, but it wasn't the worst either.

The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too watery.

This cavatelli with tomato sauce and ricotta was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was amazing. I especially loved the contrast between the smooth, creamy ricotta and the tangy tomato sauce.
