Creamy Ricotta Spaghetti Sauce

This sauce is not your average spaghetti sauce, it's very creamy...and amazing. We ate it on chicken mozzarella ravioli that we got from Costco...yum! But it would be good on any noodles...fettuccine, penne...whatever!

8 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 onion (chopped)
1 C half & half
1/2 to 3/4 C of ricotta (to taste)
3 cans of crushed tomatoes (pureed in blender)
1 C parmesan cheese
bunch of fresh basil, or dried basil to taste
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp of italian seasoning

Directions:
1. Saute garlic and onion in olive oil until onion is clear.
2. Add 1/2 & 1/2 and ricotta cheese and stir until melted.
3. Add tomatoes, bring to a boil, then down to a simmer.
4. Add parmesan cheese and the rest of the seasonings.
