Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the penne rigate
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the penne rigate and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the penne to the pot; toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to keep the noodles from sticking. While the water is heating and the penne is cooking, prepare the sauce.
2
Prep the onion and olives
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
- Cut the olives in half, checking for any pits.
3
Prep and cook your protein
- Cut a small corner from the protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add your protein and garlic-herb blend and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the olives, tomatoes, ricotta, penne, and reserved pasta cooking water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened slightly and your protein is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the penne and sauce to individual bowls, garnish with the Parmesan, and serve.
