Tomato Ricotta Pasta with Broccoli

Ricotta cheese is my new best friend.

I have always made this combination of whole wheat pasta, tomato sauce, and broccoli as a fast and healthy dinner…But for some reason, I never really pursued a creamy tomato sauce.

Lazy much?

Tonight I was feeling inspired to make my sauce a little thicker, creamier, and more satisfying. And that’s why ricotta is my new best friend.

I’ve used half and half before to creamify my tomato sauce. Let’s just say the sound of the half and half glugging into my pasta sauce does not necessarily make me feel healthy. Not to mention, the consistency never gets quite thick enough for me.
