This simple Rotelle with Ricotta recipe will take around fifteen minute to prepare. Rotelle is simply blended with seasoned creamy ricotta cheese.

You can also substitute the pasta but make sure you use something similar to the rotelle like rotini or even penne pasta will work. As long as it is a type of pasta that will hold the ricotta mixture. Enjoy!
