4 oz ricotta -
1 1/4 cup pasta - penne, rigatoni, fusilli
Cook pasta according to package instructions - or boil it until it's done ...taste it! Chop onion, garlic and pepper. Roughly chop tomatoes - reserving all juice. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add paprika and sauté 1 minute. Add onion, garlic and pepper and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add sausage and sage and sauté until sausage is cooked through, breaking it up if not using slices. Add tomatoes and their juices, and the cannellini, turn heat to low and simmer until pasta is done or 10 minutes, whichever is longer. When pasta is done add to pan along with ricotta, if using, stir to combine and serve.
