Best 4 Baked Farfalle With Prosciutto And Mushrooms Recipes

BAKED FARFALLE WITH ESCAROLE AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the farfalle until very al dente, 2 to 3 minutes less than the label directs; drain.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden. Crush the plum tomatoes into the skillet with your hands; rinse out each can with 1/2 cup water and add the water to the skillet. Add the basil sprigs; simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened, 15 minutes. Discard the basil; season the sauce with salt. (Alternatively, heat 4 cups prepared tomato sauce.)
• Stir the chopped basil and parsley into the sauce, then add the escarole and zucchini.
• Brush a 3-to-4-quart baking dish with olive oil. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and half of each cheese. Spread in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pasta. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

BAKED PASTA WITH TOMATOES, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the onion, the garlic, the red pepper flakes, the basil, and the orégano in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add the mushrooms, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender, and transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl. In the skillet melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and simmer the mixture, whisking, for 2 minutes, or until it is thickened. Pour the sauce over the mushroom mixture and add the tomatoes, the prosciutto, the Fontina, the Gorgonzola, 1 1/4 cups of the Parmesan, and the parsley.
• In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the pasta for 5 minutes (the pasta will not be tender) and drain it well. Add the pasta and salt and pepper to taste to the mushroom mixture, toss the mixture until it is combined well, and transfer it to a buttered 3- to 4-quart baking dish. The pasta may be prepared up to this point and kept covered and chilled overnight. Bring the pasta to room temperature before continuing with the recipe. Sprinkle the pasta with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan, dot it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits, and bake it in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pasta is tender.

BAKED FARFALLE WITH PROSCIUTTO AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the prosciutto until golden, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, basil, pepper and salt.
• Saute until the mushrooms are golden, about 8 minutes.
• Add the wine and boil until almost no liquid remains, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, breaking up with a spoon.
• Stir in the tomato paste and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the cream and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the farfalle until tender but firm, about 10 minutes.
• Drain and return to the pot.
• Add the sauce and parsley and toss to coat.
• Transfer to a 10-cup oval baking dish.
• Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in a 375 degree F oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

FARFALLE WITH ARTICHOKES, MUSHROOMS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring six quarts of water to a boil. While it is coming to a boil, trim the artichokes. Slice off the top half-inch and slice the stem flush with the bottom. Pull off the two or three outermost layers of leaves, exposing tender, yellowish leaves. Quarter the artichokes vertically. As the artichokes are trimmed, toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
• When the water is boiling, add the artichokes and potatoes and simmer about 20 minutes, until both are tender. Scoop them out of the water with a skimmer or a slotted spoon and add the farfalle to the water. Increase the heat and boil the farfalle about eight minutes, until it is just tender. Drain it when it is done, retaining about a cup of the cooking water. Toss the pasta with one-third cup of the water to keep it moist.
• Meanwhile, quarter the potatoes. Slice the mushrooms.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet, add the mushrooms and garlic and saute over medium-high heat about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms have wilted. Add the artichokes and potatoes and stir over medium heat a few minutes, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the stock and soy sauce. Add the cooked farfalle and toss all the prepared ingredients together. Check seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. Add additional cooking liquid if the mixture is too dry.
• Transfer everything to a warm serving bowl, sprinkle the basil on top and serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
