STRASCINATI IN AN ARTICOKE RICOTTA CREAM SAUCE

Ingredients...

Strascinati Pasta
Artichoke Hearts
Ricotta Cheese
Whole Milk
White Wine
Butter
Flour
Salt

While the pasta cooks in boiling water.....
In a sauce pan, I melted some butter. And then I added about 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese and I stirred and stirred to melt it down. I then added some milk, probably about a half a cup. I used whole milk, but we all know half and half or a heavy cream would have been ideal. Again, I stirred. Added a half cup of dry white wine and a bit of flour (a tablespoon). More stirred. Once it had thickened, the artichokes came on bored. Salt to taste. Key to this is to never stop stirring. Oh, and keep on a very low heat the entire time.
