Penne with Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 large Spanish onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed with a sprinkle of kosher salt and finely chopped to a paste
One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
8 ounces penne pasta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus 3/4 cup, for garnish
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
12 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Calabrian red chile flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup fresh ricotta, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the canola oil in a large high-sided saute pan or saucepan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions, garlic and tomatoes with the juice. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the penne and 2 tablespoons salt and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta.
  • Mash the tomatoes again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin out the sauce and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Thin with additional pasta water if necessary.
  • Transfer the pasta to the sauce; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the Parmigiano-Reggiano to the pan and combine. Cook the pasta in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more grated cheese as the pasta cooks. Add some of the basil and parsley and the chile flakes and then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large shallow serving dish and top with freshly grated cheese. Top with the ricotta and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley; serve immediately.
