Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounce penne (dry)
2 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
6 ounce goat cheese (soft)
1 cup half and half cream
¼ cup fresh basil (sliced chiffonade*)
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta: Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Make sauce: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the garlic becomes aromatic. Add the goat cheese, half and half and stir. Whisk until smooth.

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Fresh Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

This pasta's sauce comes together using the same trifecta found in lemon-ricotta pasta: a juicy fruit, a creamy cheese and a salty cheese. This recipe makes good use of those summer tomatoes with juices just barely contained by their thin skins. The creamy cheese is goat cheese, whose tang balances the sweetness of the tomatoes. Parmesan adds salty depth, while herbs and red-pepper flakes complete the dish. For a more filling pasta, feel free to add shrimp, corn or green beans to the boiling pasta in the last few minutes of cooking.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
2 ounces Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated, plus more as needed
1 pound fusilli or another spiral pasta
1 (4-ounce) log goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, thyme, red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash with a fork or potato masher until tomatoes are juicy. Stir in the Parmesan. Set aside while the pasta cooks, or up to 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • To the bowl of tomatoes, add the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water. Stir until the cheese is mostly melted. Add the pasta and stir vigorously until the noodles are well coated. Add more pasta water as needed until the sauce coats the noodles. Season to taste with additional Parmesan and red-pepper flakes.

  • Add the goat cheese and cream to the sauce: This will make the sauce creamy and rich.
  • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the linguine with additional goat cheese and herbs: This will add extra flavor and richness to the dish.
