BOW TIES WITH PESTO, FETA AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Bow Ties with Pesto, Feta and Cherry Tomatoes image

This is just one example of how a good pesto can be used so well in so many ways. People always rave about this combo and I can't blame 'em - it's one of those matches made in heaven. The pesto coats the warm pasta to make a creamy, rich sauce, which is accented by the crumbled feta and contrasted by the sweet and tart cherry tomatoes.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bow tie pasta (farfalle)
3/4 cup Pesto, recipe follows
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Stir in the bow ties and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and run it under cold water just until it stops steaming. Bounce the pasta around to get rid of as much water as you can.
  • Dump the pasta into a large serving bowl. Stir in the pesto until the pasta is coated. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and the crumbled feta. Taste the salad and season it as you like with salt and pepper. You can make the salad up to about 1 hour before you serve it. Check out the salt and pepper just before you serve the salad. If it's looking a little dry, add some olive oil and stir it around.
  • Pesto:
  • 5 big handfuls basil leaves (about 2 hefty bunches)
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts or 3/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Kosher salt
  • About 20 grinds freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Place all ingredients with 1/2 cup of the oil in a blender and blend. Gradually drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup of oil until pesto is thick and smooth.
  • Yield: about 1 1/2 cups

SPICY AND SAUCY CHERRY TOMATO PASTA



Spicy and Saucy Cherry Tomato Pasta image

In this incredibly easy weeknight pasta, red-pepper flakes, capers and tomato paste turn a simple cherry tomato sauce into something hearty enough for cold weather. Sautéeing tomato paste until it caramelizes develops deep flavor, while pan-fried capers add crunch and red-pepper flakes provide heat. For smokier undertones, you can use dried ancho chile or chile de árbol, chipotle powder or Aleppo pepper in place of the red-pepper flakes. A dollop of ricotta, freshly grated pecorino or Parmesan, or shaved ricotta salata is not necessary, but takes the dish up a notch.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons drained jarred capers
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 to 2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes (optional)
16 ounces orecchiette or other shaped pasta
1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 packed cup thinly sliced fresh basil, plus small whole leaves, for garnish
Fresh ricotta, shaved ricotta salata, or grated pecorino or Parmesan, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Pat the capers dry, then add them to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the capers to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring frequently, until tomato paste darkens in color and deepens in flavor, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup pasta cooking water from the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to fall apart and the liquid becomes saucy, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta, and transfer it to the skillet with the sauce to combine. (If your skillet is too full to accommodate the pasta, you can transfer the cooked pasta back to the pot, then add the sauce to combine.) Stir in half the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among plates or bowls and top with capers and remaining basil, plus cheese and whole basil leaves. Serve immediately.
