tomato & ricotta rigatoni

This might be my favourite pasta recipe ever. It couldn't be easier, quicker or more delicious, with a creamy, indulgent edge that makes it feel special. The base is made from cooking down red onions and semi-dried tomatoes until soft, giving the dish it's rich base, ricotta is then mixed through to give it a creaminess that brings it all together. Try using really good quality pasta here for a great dinner you won't forget in a hurry.
