PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta with Tomatoes and Goat Cheese image

The goat cheese, when tossed with the hot pasta, melts and becomes a creamy sauce. We've learned that it's a good idea to taste your goat cheese before using it (or before buying it, if possible - one of the soft goat cheeses we tried seemed a bit too strong for this dish).

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 Sara Moulton

Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Tomato     Side     Roast     Goat Cheese     Basil     Fall     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds red and yellow cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 ounces fresh goat cheese
1 pound penne
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
Additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Halve each tomato and place cut side up in one flat layer on the baking sheets. Drizzle the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Roast until the tomatoes are dried around the edges but still moist, about 2 hours.
  • Crumble the goat cheese into large chunks and refrigerate until ready to serve the pasta.
  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Remove 1 cup of the cooking liquid and reserve. Drain the pasta well and return to the pot. Add the tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, reserved cooking liquid, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose a Good Quality Olive Oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, like basil and parsley, will add a lot of flavor to your dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.

Conclusion:

This flavorful goat cheese pasta with chorizo and cherry tomatoes is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of creamy goat cheese, spicy chorizo, and sweet cherry tomatoes is sure to please everyone at the table. You can also experiment with different types of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni, or add other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers. Bon appétit!
