Tomato Ricotta Pasta

300 g rigatoni pasta

500 g passata tomato sauce.

ricotta

onion

garlic

extra virgin olive oil

Italian seasoning

parmesan cheese grated or as needed

basil

Salt and black pepper

Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Add extra virgin olive oil and heat until hot, add chopped onions and saute until soft and translucent, add chopped garlic and saute for 1 minute or until fragrant.

Stir in the passata (tomato sauce), Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper into the sauteed aromatics until combined. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes stirring at intervals so it doesn't burn.

In the meantime, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, reserve some pasta water as you may be needing it later.

Once the tomato has slightly reduced and no longer tastes tomatoey, add grated parmesan cheese and tear in some fresh basil(to taste) then stir to combine.

Add ricotta cheese to the sauce, break it up and stir until creamy and fully combined with the tomato sauce.

Add the cooked pasta to the tomato sauce, and stir or toss to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, if the sauce is becoming thick, add the reserved pasta water to lighten it up.

Take it off the heat and serve with more freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh basil. Enjoy!
