Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 Ounces Penne Pasta
  • 15 Ounces Ricotta Cheese

  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil (chopped)
  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)

  3. Step: Add the marinara sauce and cheese mixture to a large sauce pan and stir over medium-low heat until the cheese has melted.
  4. Step: Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and melted cheese until it is covered in sauce.
  5. Step: Divide into 6 bowls and top with a dollop of the remaining ricotta cheese. Garnish with the remaining parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil leaves.
