Lecce pasta with salted ricotta (sagne n'cannulate with cacio ricotta)

This pasta is a specialty from Lecce in the Puglia region of southern Italy. It's handrolled, resembling twisted ribbons - to mimic the Baroque architecture of the town. It’s served with a very simple cherry tomato sauce with cacio ricotta crumbled over to add tang, richness and depth. This may seem like a lot of oil but it emulsifies with the tomato to form a rich thick sauce that coats the pasta.
