Preparation

  1. Put ricotta and milk in a non-stick pan and melt at low heat trying not to dry the sauce too much or boil it.

To cook the pasta:

  1. Boil 2 litres of tap water in a metal pot and when the water is boiling add salt.
  2. Then when the water starts boiling again add pasta and let it cook for the minutes indicated on the package.
  3. Drain pasta in a colander and put it in a non-stick pan on the fire where you can mix it with ricotta sauce and add a pinch of black pepper.
