Directions
- Combine sauce and water in 12″ skillet. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, wrap noodles in clean kitchen towel and break crosswise into quarters. Stir noodles into sauce. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 16 – 18 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
- As noodles cook, crumble sausage into a separate 10″ skillet; cook and stir over medium high heat 6 – 8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink. Add pressed garlic and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir sausage into noodles and sauce.
- Meanwhile, grate Parmesan cheese. Chop parsley and set aside 1 TB for garnish. Combine cheeses and black pepper in classic batter bowl. Scoop cheese mixture over noodles. Cover skillet and simmer gently 3 – 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and ricotta mixture is heated through.
