RICOTTA PASTA WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES (makes 4)

tomato sauce

150 g sundried tomatoes

1 medium onion

3 tbs extravirgin olive oil

50 ml dry white wine

parsley and basil to taste

a pinch of salt

ricotta sauce

400 g pasta of choice

200 g ricotta

2tbs extravirgin olive oil

60 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

some cooking water of the pasta (3-4 tbs)

MAKE THE SAUCE

Chop the onion and put it in a pan to brown with the oil and a pinch of salt. Add the chopped tomatoes, cook for a minute and deglaze with the wine. When the alcohol evaporated, turn off the heat and add the chopped parsley and basil. Remove about half of the tomatoes from the pot and set aside.

RICOTTA CREAM

Cook the pasta in abundant boiling and salted water.

Add the ricotta to the pan where part of the tomato sauce is, along with some of the Parmesan and a little pasta cooking water, just enough to create a cream. Once the pasta is cooked, dip it in the ricotta cream and toss well. Serve in plates, adding the reserved tomato sauce here and there and more fresh basil.
