This pasta dish, also known as Pasta al Pastore is said to have originated in Calabria by sheep herders.

- 1/2 Pound Fresh Mild Pork Sausage, Removed From Casings
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled & Minced
- 1 Pound Of Pasta (See Notes Above)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive OIl
- 1 Pound Fresh Ricotta Cheese
- Salt & Pepper
- 1/3 Cup Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
To Serve:
- Cracked Black Pepper
- Additional Grated Pecorino Cheese
Directions:
Place a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
In a heavy skillet, cook the sausage until lightly browned, breaking up the sausage meat with two forks as it cooks.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water to the skillet and keep warm over low heat.
Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
Return the pasta to the pot and add the olive oil and sausage over medium heat stirring to mix.
Add the ricotta, and enough of the pasta water to loosen the ricotta so it coats the pasta and remove from the heat.
