Double Ricotta Rosa Pasta

This is my first non-cupcake food post. Finally, I'm using this blog for what it was intended. Tonight's dinner was a new creation, and I was pretty pleased. Phillip cleaned his plate quickly (which doens't actually say much, he always does!), even when there wasn't any meat on his plate.

8oz. rigatoni pasta
15oz. can of tomato sauce
15oz. tub of ricotta cheese
2 tsp salt
1 tsp coarse pepper
1 tsp italian seasoning
