SCALLOPED TOMATOES (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Scalloped Tomatoes (Barefoot Contessa) image

FANTASTIC! A great side dish for just about any meal. Save this recipe for when your tomatoes in the garden are ripe and luscious! (or if you have a Farmer's Market, get them from there). First made this in 2009, and have used large cherry tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes and they were great too...good tomatoes for this are a MUST! I have also added about 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese along with the 1 cup of parmesan on the top for a real cheesy treat! Any rustic bread will do, but make sure you cut it in the 1/2 inch dice. Also, use fresh Parmesan cheese, it really makes a difference. It's VERY important to get it into the oven as soon as possible, else it may end up a bit soggy. This is adapted from Barefoot Contessa; Episode Farm Stand Food.

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Seafood Pasta

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound linguine pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound grape tomatoes
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 9 to 10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water, and set aside.
  • Wipe out the pot, and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, stirring occasionally, and cook until they start to burst, 5 to 7 minutes; crush some with the back of a spoon. Stir in white wine, olives, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper; reduce heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops all at once, coating with oil; don't move or shake the pan for 1 minute. Gently flip the scallops, and cook until firm and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not overcook scallops.
  • Add the pasta to the tomato mixture, toss to coat, and add reserved pasta water, if necessary. Divide the pasta mixture evenly among 4 shallow bowls and top with the scallops. Lightly drizzle with more olive oil, if desired, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the final dish, so make sure to select ripe, juicy ones that are bursting with flavor. Look for tomatoes that are evenly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a burst of flavor to your scalloped tomatoes. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: When arranging the tomato slices in the baking dish, make sure to leave some space between them so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the dish will result in steamed tomatoes instead of roasted ones.
  • Bake until the tomatoes are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your tomato slices and the type of baking dish you are using. However, as a general rule, bake the tomatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Serve immediately: Scalloped tomatoes are best served immediately after they are baked. This allows you to enjoy them at their peak flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Scalloped tomatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or something with a little more spice, there is a scalloped tomato recipe out there for everyone.
