What is there to say about creamy ricotta? It hails from all the way back in the Bronze age, it's used in both desserts and savory meals, and it tops this easy-to-make, easier-to-love pasta with aplomb. But it's not the only delight in this dish: the Parmesan sauce is decadent and melds perfectly with the tart tomatoes and rich mushrooms. Crispy onions bring the crunch, but nothing tops the ricotta (literally and figuratively!). You'll be adding dollops to all your plates of pasta from now on. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.
