This sauce only requires minimal cooking heat to warm up the ingredients. The combination of red pepper, basil, parmesan, and ricotta creates a savory and slightly smoky flavor to the sauce.
Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain, do not rinse, and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
In a small saucepan or french oven,melt the butter and cook the garlic for about 45 seconds.
Add the ricotta, parmesan, roasted peppers, and salt. Cook on low for 1-2 minutes to heat the sauce to warm. Alternately you can add the ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and heat the sauce for about 20-30 seconds.
Add the pasta to the serving bowl and toss to coat. Sprinkle the basil on the pasta and serve immediately.
