Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups short cut pasta
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Instruction

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and garlic and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook until slightly crispy. Drain grease from pot.
  • Add water to pot and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom (this is all flavor!). Add tomato sauce and Italian seasoning and bring to a heavy simmer. Add pasta and cook 10 to 12 minutes, until pasta is al dente. Stir every few minutes to keep the pasta from sticking.
  • Meanwhile, mix together ricotta, mozzarella cheese and egg. Once pasta is done, turn off the heat but leave the pot on the hot burner. Dollop the ricotta mixture over the pasta. Cover with a lid and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve.
