Here’s another quick and easy pasta recipe. I make this with fusilli or farfalle or any kind of short pasta. It never seizes to amaze me how delicious meal you’ll get with just a few good ingredients.
prep time 5 min cook time 10-12 min
ingredients for 4
- 350g pasta
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 300 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 250 g ricotta
- salt
- basil
- grated Parmesan
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Save a glass of the pasta water.
2. Meanwhile warm the oil in a medium size skillet over medium-high heat with the garlic cloves. Add the tomatoes, stir to coat and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let cook for about 5 minutes. Flatten the tomatoes carefully with a spatula.
3. Add the ricotta and stir to coat. Let cook for 1 minute. Add a few basil leaves.
4. Drain the pasta 1 minute before it’s cooked al dente and pour it in the skillet, stir to coat and add a little bit of the pasta water that you have previously saved and finish cooking. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
