Gomiti con la Ricotta

Method: Melt the butter and add the onions, chili flake, and salt. Sweat slowly until translucent, soft with no crunch and no color- reserve some onions on the side (approximately 2 spoonfuls). Add a tablespoon of water while cooking if it looks like it might take on color. Add the heavy cream and reduce it by half, watch to make sure the heavy cream doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pot. Add the ricotta and bianco sardo, stir until combined. Pull off heat and blend in Vitamix until smooth. Season with salt if needed. Cool.

On the pick-up boil water with salt, and cook gomiti for 12 minutes. While pasta is cooking, get a pan ready- put the reserved onions in the pan and the BIG scoop of ricotta sauce but do not turn on the heat. Add the pasta once cooked and turn on the heat, toss until combined. Serve with Calabrian chili oil.
