Serve in a dish with contrasting color for appeal. My friend made this once and I asked her for the recipe. I make this very often.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package campanelle (little bells) pasta
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ onion, chopped
1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the campanelle pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl, add ricotta cheese, and stir so the ricotta begins to melt into the pasta.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in olive oil until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Sir tomato sauce, basil, and oregano with the onion; bring to a simmer and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour tomato sauce over the pasta and stir until the sauce and cheese evenly coat the pasta.
