Olive Garden Penne Pasta W/ Tomatoes and Ricotta image

If you love ricotta and penne, this dish is perfect! I wanted to post in case anyone else wanted to try, plus, you can see the nutritional information. This makes a great somwhat lighter tasting dinner or a great lunch. I would recommend that if you want a little kick add a few dashed of red pepper flakes or a little bit of cayenne pepper. otherwise serve with a great salad and some garlic rolls.

Categories     quick, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Salt and pepper
1 cup frozen peas
1 pound penne, ziti or other cut pasta
About 1 cup ricotta, preferably fresh
1 tablespoon softened butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. In a separate pot, cook peas in boiling salted water to cover, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again and set aside.
  • Cook pasta in the large pot. While it is cooking, mix ricotta, butter and half the Parmesan in a warm bowl. When pasta is almost done, remove about a cup of its cooking water, and use as much as you need to make ricotta mixture into a sauce.
  • Toss pasta with ricotta mixture and peas. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, add more cooking water if necessary, and serve, passing remaining Parmesan at the table.
