Bucatini Dolce Salato (Sweet and Sour Bucatini)

Ingredients(makes for 4)

1 Red Onion
1 Jar of Trader Joes sundried tomatoes
4 spoons of ricotta romana(sweet ricotta)
3 Table spoons of ricotta salato(salty)
1 can diced tomatoes

How to:

1. Saute finely chopped onion in Olive oil.
2. Set water to boil. Add a few drops of vinegar. Blanch the sundried tomatoes.
3. Cut fine and add to sautee. Add half a can of the diced tomatoes till you have a gravy-ish thing. The pasta is a dryish pasta. Add sugar to remove the sour taste if you dont plan on using the sweet ricotta. Cook this thing very well.
4.Now add pasta in that water and cook.
5. In a separate bowl mix Ricottas and 1 tsp olive oil and ground black pepper.
6. Add saute to cooked pasta and toss in the pan. Add ricotta mix and serve as it melts into the hot pasta.

And, Oh the title suggests that you have to use Bucatini but Fetuccine works just as well. :-)
