#195 Ricotta Pasta with Tomatoes al Forno


Yummy yummy yummy! I previously made Bel Aria Chicken and Pasta that I pretty much freaked out about for the whole week because I had never had any pasta like that in my life, it was so good. Well tonight's dinner tasted a little like that. Not as good, but still amazing to me. Rachael Ray said that it is a variation of one of the first meals that you eat as an Italian child: pasta with ricotta cheese and butter. And as you grow up, you add things to it. She had about five variations in her book, and this was the one I picked. Very few ingredients. Cook the pasta (ziti or penne), and take a bowl of chilled butter, Parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese and melt it into the pasta, and add whatever you fancy! =) This variation was a simple tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella and more Parmesan cheese melted on top. If you don't mind A LOT of cheese, and don't mind the texture of ricotta cheese, then despite how unflattering the picture turned out, you will LOVE IT!
