Broken Noodles with Tomato Sauce and Ricotta

Morning and HAPPY Tuesday! Although I eat healthy 6 days a week, I allow myself a "cheat day" which is Sundays for me. Sundays I allow myself to eat whatever I want and as much as I want. This recipe sounds delicious and I love everything that is in it!
