Pasta with no-cook spicy tomato sauce. Ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes and harissa are some of the ingredients you need for this easiest no-cook sauce. It’s creamy and bright with just the right amount of heat. We prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking so everything is ready in just 15 minutes! Serve warm or at room temperature with a big side salad. —Anna Chwistek | Serving Dumplings
