MACARONI WITH CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND PANCETTA SAUCE



Macaroni With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce image

This is the weeknight version of my Recipe#368572- same great flavour but quicker and easier to make. If you use another type of pasta, you may need 2 cups as macaroni is small and dense. Also feel free to substitute bacon for the pancetta- it works just as well.

1/2 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

10-MINUTE SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA



10-Minute Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta image

Dinner is ready in 10 minutes with this creamy sun-dried tomato pasta! I use my favorite all-natural sun-dried tomatoes, and I skip heavy cream in favor of a little whole milk and starchy pasta water for a lighter sauce, but you can definitely use heavy cream if you prefer! If you're not worried about keeping this pasta dish vegetarian, toss in some shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover Italian-style baked chicken breast or skillet chicken.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces penne pasta or short pasta of your choice
3 to 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, (chopped, I used our all-natural sun-dried tomatoes which are bold and flavorful)
Extra virgin olive oil
2 small shallots, (chopped)
4 large garlic cloves, (minced)
Kosher salt
½ cup whole milk
½ to ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, (more or less to your liking (or a vegetarian Parmesan option))
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or Aleppo-style pepper, (less spicy)
Fresh basil, (torn)

Steps:

  • Begin cooking the pasta. Fill a medium saucepan with plenty of water and season the water well with kosher salt. Bring the water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions, till al dente. Make sure to reserve some of the pasta cooking water before you drain the pasta.
  • While the pasta is cooking, work on the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil in a large deep pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots, garlic, and a good pinch of salt and cook, tossing regularly for about a minute. Add the chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another minute or so, tossing until the dried tomato bits have softened a little. Add the milk and a little bit of the pasta cooking water (about ¼ cup) and cook for another minute or two until warmed through. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • Turn the heat off. Add in the pasta and Parmesan cheese, mix well to make sure the pasta is well-coated (if needed, add a bit more of the pasta cooking water). Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Finish with the torn basil and serve immediately!

SPAGHETTI WITH CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE



Spaghetti with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Onion     Pasta     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bacon     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 to 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 slices bacon (1/4 lb), finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1 lb spaghetti
1 oz finely grated parmesan (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add cream, tomatoes, and bacon and simmer until cream is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Add pasta and cheese to sauce and toss to coat pasta, adding enough reserved cooking water to thin sauce as desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, and high-quality pancetta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pancetta, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pancetta from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use a stock that is flavorful and has a good depth of flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened and creamy. Do not overcook it, as this will make it watery and bland.

Conclusion:

Macaroni with Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of creamy sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and pancetta creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
