Ingredients
12 oz Pasta shells or fusilli, cooked

1 lb Hot italian sausages

3 cup Spaghetti sauce, chunky vegetable style

1 cup Ricotta cheese

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh grate

Preparation
Remove sausages from casings. In large skillet, heat 1 ts vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook sausage, stirring and breaking up with fork, for 5-6 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce; cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbling.



Meanwhile, in small microwaveable bowl or saucepan, mix ricotta with Parmesan; microwave at High for 45 seconds, or cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, or just until Parmesan begins to melt.



Toss spaghetti sauce with hot pasta; divide among bowls. Spoon ricotta mixture evenly over top. A sprinkle of chopped parsley to garnish. Serve with a crisp Caesar salad.



Variation: use different varieties of spaghetti sauce; a mushroom sauce or one with plenty of herbs would work also
