So Easy Ricotta and Fettuccine With Tomatoes

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This recipe is ridiculously easy, it takes only minutes to make especially if you are using fresh packaged fettuccine from the grocery store, or boil some dryed pasta for this, you can double this recipe if desired! You will love the simplicity and taste of this pasta dish, serve this with a side salad and crusty buns for an easy weeknight (or anytime) meal!"

Can't get any easier than this!! Had some leftover pasta that I reheated in the microwave, then added half the mix (as I made half the recipe!). This turned out great - note to self: use less garlic powder next time (think I dropped a bit too much ;) - thanks Kit! :)

This was soooo easy and good. I used fat-free ricotta cheese and omitted the butter and it turned out great. I topped mine with some shredded leftover turkey and made it into a meal. YUMM!
