500 g Tomato Puree

1 tablespoon (heaping) Tomato Paste

1/4 cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, grated

10 Fresh Basil Leaves, whole

Heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a large pan. Add in the diced onions and cook over a medium high until transparent, not caramelized. Add the garlic and be sure not to burn it.

Add the ricotta to the pan and mix in well with the onions and garlic.

Cook on the stove over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, tasting often, and adding salt and pepper to taste. Add the basil about a minute before the sauce is complete.
