Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 pound mild Italian sausage, casings removed; 2 cups Classic Marinara Sauce, recipe follows; 12 ounces mafaldine corte or farfalle pasta; 8 ounces mini mozzarella balls; 3/4 cup ricotta; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan; Torn basil leaves, for topping; 1/3 cup olive oil; 6 cloves garlic, minced; Three 26-ounce cartons chopped tomatoes; 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; 1 large basil sprig; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 6 minutes. Add the Marinara and 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, then partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is coating it nicely, about 16 minutes. Stir in the mozzarella and ricotta, then sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and serve.
