Share:
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil good quality
- 2 cloves garlic
- 24 oz tomato sauce (passata) jar or 1.5 lbs fresh tomatoes
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 lb trottole pasta
- shake black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup ricotta
Instructions
- Heat the oil over medium high heat, add the garlic, and when it starts to brown, add the tomato sauce and cover to keep from splashing. Simmer over medium heat, so that it cooks quickly, and season with salt.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the trottole pasta. Cook as directed until al dente.
- After a few minutes, when the sauce is starting to thicken, add the ricotta. After a few minutes, when the sauce is starting to thicken, add the ricotta.
- If you used tomatoes, versus purée, you can use an immersion blender to smooth out the sauce.
- Add fresh or frozen basil and mix well. Check for salt and add pepper, as desired, and lower the heat to just keep the sauce hot.
- The pasta should be ready at this time. Add the drained pasta to the ricotta tomato sauce, but reserve some pasta water to add if needed.
- Stir well until completely mixed together. Add more sauce and/or pasta water as needed.
- Plate immediately, top with more tomato ricotta sauce and a leaf of basil, if desired.

Notes
- My ricotta was quite dry, so I blended the sauce for this reason.
- If you don't have ricotta, you can substitute 4 oz (120 ml) of heavy cream, but it will be a much lighter pink sauce.
