👨🍳 Preparation
- 1
Cook the pasta: Put a pot of salted water on the stove. While waiting for it to boil, prepare the sauce.
- 2
Cook the sausage: Heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil. Remove the casing from the sausage and crumble it by hand. Cook for a few minutes, breaking it up with a fork so it browns evenly.
- 3
Deglaze with wine and add tomatoes: Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the yellow cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- 4
Prepare the ricotta cream: In a bowl, mash the ricotta. Add a couple of tablespoons of hot water and the grated caciocavallo. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- 5
Combine ricotta with sausage: Pour the ricotta cream into the pan with the sausage. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- 6
Toss the pasta: When the pasta is al dente, transfer it to the pan with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta cooking water to make it creamier.
- 7
Plate and serve: Serve the pasta with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a basil leaf for garnish.
💡 Tips and Variations
For a different twist, add mushrooms such as champignon or porcini for an earthier flavor, or replace the yellow tomatoes with a fresh tomato sauce for a more classic touch.
📦 Storage
- • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days.
- • Reheating: Warm in a small pot over medium-low heat with a bit of water or milk.
