Place the roasting tin over a low-medium heat on the hob and pour the pasta into the tomato mixture, along with a generous slug of the pasta water. Cook for a couple more mins, shaking the tray and tossing to coat the pasta in the oil and juices. Divide between warm bowls and top with spoonfuls of ricotta and the anchovy breadcrumbs.
