Description
One Pot Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Whipped Ricotta is a simple and flavorful dish that combines pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and creamy ricotta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces pasta (your choice: penne, fusilli, or spaghetti)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil or dry)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the ricotta cheese and grated Parmesan in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the pasta is cooked, remove it from heat. Stir in a drizzle of olive oil and taste for seasoning, adjusting as needed. Serve the pasta in bowls topped with a dollop of whipped ricotta and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
