A cozy, hearty pasta dish that unites creamy ricotta with tangy tomatoes for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., penne or fusilli)
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sautéing garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it’s fragrant, which usually takes about 1 minute.
  2. Simmering tomatoes: Next, add in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cooking pasta: Stir in the pasta, then pour in just enough water to cover the pasta.
  4. Boiling and reducing heat: Bring the pot to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Cook according to the pasta package instructions until it’s al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Combining with ricotta: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the creamy ricotta cheese until everything is well incorporated.
  6. Serving warm: Serve your warm creation right away, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.

Notes

Make sure to stir the pasta occasionally while it cooks to prevent sticking. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. This dish can easily be made vegan by substituting ricotta with cashew cream.
