A delightful creamy tomato penne pasta recipe, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened.
Ensure the garlic doesn't burn to avoid bitterness.
Add the pureed tomatoes and red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Mix the ricotta cheese and milk in a blender until smooth. Stir this mixture into the tomato sauce.
Blend until completely smooth for a creamy texture.
Cook the penne in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Combine the pasta with the sauce, ensuring even coating. Garnish with parsley, oregano, and parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
