Ready in less than an hour…..

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Italian sausage links, casing removed
1 (14.5-oz) can diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.

2. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until well combined.
4. Using a small cookie scoop, top with dollops of ricotta, spread evenly  and cover until heated through, about 5 minutes.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
