Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups fresh ricotta, preferably homemade (recipe follows)
3 tablespoons minced scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pints assorted heirloom tomatoes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon good olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish
Fleur de sel
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons good white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, scallions, dill, chives, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside for up to 30 minutes.
  • With a small serrated knife, cut the larger tomatoes in wedges through the stem and the smaller tomatoes in half through the stem. Place them in a medium bowl with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  • When ready to serve, add the basil to the tomatoes and combine. Pile the ricotta in a large (12-inch) round shallow bowl or oval platter. Using a slotted spoon, place the tomatoes around the ricotta, discarding any liquid. Drizzle the tomatoes and ricotta with olive oil, sprinkle with the reserved basil and fleur de sel, and serve at room temperature.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
  • Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
  • Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
2 cups farro
1/2 cup golden raisins
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup coarsely grated ricotta salata

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Spread the farro out onto a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until it smells nutty, about 7 minutes. Add the toasted farro to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and toss with the raisins, lemon zest and juice in a large serving bowl.
  • Toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove the asparagus from the oven and add the tomatoes to the baking sheet. Return to the oven and roast until the tomatoes begin to blister, about 3 minutes more.
  • Toss the roasted asparagus and tomatoes with the farro along with the parsley. Top with the ricotta salata and serve.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES, GREENS AND RICOTTA



Pasta With Tomatoes, Greens and Ricotta image

A ragout is the perfect vehicle for sturdy greens, which stand up to gentle simmering and sweeten as they cook. I usually take a simple Mediterranean approach and simmer the greens with olive oil, tomatoes, onions and garlic. The result is a savory ragout that begs to be tossed with pasta.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red or yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 serrano pepper, minced (seeded if desired)
1 pound tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Salt
Pinch of sugar
1/2 pound (about 5 cups, tightly packed) stemmed and coarsely chopped broccoli leaves, Chinese broccoli leaves or collards
Black pepper
3/4 pound farfalle or other pasta
1/2 cup ricotta
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes or serrano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add tomatoes and thyme. Add salt to taste and a pinch of sugar. Cook tomatoes over medium heat, stirring often, until they have cooked down to a fragrant purée, about 10 minutes.
  • Add chopped broccoli leaves or collards, which should still have some water on them from washing. Add salt to taste. Stir greens and tomatoes until greens have collapsed, then turn heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Cover and simmer another 5 minutes. Add pepper, taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Meanwhile, when pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add pasta. Cook until al dente, usually 10 to 11 minutes. Have ricotta in a small bowl near pasta pot.
  • Stir 1/4 cup pasta water into ricotta and stir mixture into vegetables. Reserve about 1/4 cup pasta water. Drain pasta and toss with vegetable and ricotta mixture; add reserved water if desired. Add parsley, toss again and serve.

FARFALLE W/ "RICOTTA" AND SAUTÉED TOMATOES - VEGAN



FARFALLE W/

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Vegan

Yield 4 Large Bowls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 Box Mini-Farfalle (make sure there is no egg in it)
For Tomato Topping:
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves of garlic
Small handful of fresh basil
Just enough olive oil to sauté tomatoes (maybe a couple teaspoons)
For "Ricotta":
1 pkg Silken Firm tofu, pressed (I used Mori-Nu)
Juice of 1 small lemon
2 tsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
Small handful of finely chopped, fresh basil
2 tsp dried oregano
Large bowl for mixing and serving

Steps:

  • PREP: 1. Start by pressing tofu. Wrap tofu in a few papertowels, place on a cookie sheet, place another cookie sheet on top, and stack a few heavy books on top of that. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes. 2. While waiting start halving tomatoes, chop garlic, slice basil for tomatoes (roll basil leaves and cut at a 45° angle), and finely chop basil for ricotta. 3. Begin boiling water for pasta. Add a little salt to the water. For ricotta: 1. Using your hands, crumble tofu in a large bowl. 2. Add lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper, and basil. 3. Mush everything together until no tofu chunks remain and mixture is more the consistency of ricotta (about 2 minutes) 4. Add oil and nutritional yeast and mix together using a fork (the mix gets kinda sticky after you add the oil) 5. Set aside. At this point add pasta to boiling water, as the tomatoes won't take very long. For tomatoes: 1. Add oil to pan and heat. Add garlic, sauté about a minute, add tomatoes and sauté them until your pasta is cooked through (about 7 minutes.) Add basil last minute to keep its color. - Drain pasta, add to ricotta mixture, add tomatoes, and toss everything together. ENJOY your tasty vegan meal!!!

Tips:

  • Selecting Fresh Tomatoes: Choose ripe, firm tomatoes with deep red color and no blemishes. Avoid tomatoes with green shoulders or soft spots.
  • Slicing Tomatoes: For even cooking, cut tomatoes into uniform-sized pieces, such as small wedges or cubes.
  • Peeling Tomatoes (Optional): Boiling tomatoes briefly and then transferring them to cold water helps loosen the skin, making peeling easier.
  • Seasoning: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more garlic, herbs, or chili flakes if desired.
  • Cooking Farfalle: Follow the cooking instructions on the pasta package and cook al dente (slightly firm).
  • Toasting Pine Nuts: Toasting pine nuts in a pan enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma.
  • Garnishing: Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This vegan farfalle pasta with ricotta and sautéed tomatoes offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The creamy ricotta, tangy tomatoes, and toasted pine nuts create a harmonious balance in every bite. The use of fresh ingredients and simple cooking methods ensures that the dish retains its nutritional value and vibrant flavors.
