Method:
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside in a large bowl.
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté one more minute. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes. Place ricotta cheese, Imperial Cheese (if using),1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, 2 T parmesan cheese and milk in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Add the tomato and cheese mixture, parsley, basil and pepper to the cooked pasta. Toss well to combine.
