Today I offer you a vegetarian dish made with pasta or an enhanced side. It is an Italian recipe that, through its ingredients, evokes the three colors of the flag: green, white, and red. This dish is easy and quick to make and requires few ingredients for its preparation. In the end, the spaghetti is very creamy and smooth. If you love pesto and ricotta, you will enjoy this.

Ingredients
 350 uncooked spaghetti
 3 Olive oil
 250 cherry tomatoes
 1 pinch Salt
 250 Ricotta
 150 pasta cooking water
Directions
1

Cook the spaghetti al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water, according to the package instructions.

2

Meanwhile, heat a pan with olive oil. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, season with salt, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.

3

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it while reserving some of the cooking water (one cup).

4

Place the ricotta in a large bowl. Add the pesto, 150 g of pasta cooking water, and mix.

5

Add the spaghetti and mix well to coat them. Then, do the same with the cherry tomatoes along with their juice. You can also serve the spaghetti and add the tomatoes with their juice on top at serving time, to crush them as little as possible.

6

To finish, serve immediately. You can find the detailed recipe on my blog, as well as many other delicious recipes.
