Number Of Ingredients 11

One 32-ounce box chicken stock
One 28-ounce can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
One 1-pound box fusilli
One 8-ounce jar drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, julienned, 2 tablespoons oil reserved
One 3.5-ounce jar capers, drained
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, small dice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces whole milk ricotta
Olive oil, for garnish
12 fresh basil leaves, julienned

Steps:

Put the chicken stock, tomatoes, fusilli, sun-dried tomatoes plus the reserved oil, capers, garlic and onion in a large pot, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some pepper. Stir together. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower to medium-low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened, about 25 minutes.
Place pasta on a large platter and dollop with ricotta. Garnish with olive oil, basil and more ground pepper.
