Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces penne pasta (2 1/4 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
4 1/2 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 cup)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large tomato, (8 ounces), halved, seeded, and the flesh cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 1/4 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Bring 2 1/2 quarts of water to a boil in a pot. Add the penne, bring the water back to a boil, and boil the pasta over medium heat, uncovered, for about 8 minutes. (The pasta should be al dente, firm to the bite.) Drain the penne in a colander and rinse it under cold tap water until cool, and set aside.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a saucepan, and add the flour. Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 10 seconds, then add the milk, stir it in quickly with a whisk so the mixture doesn't scorch. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil it for 10 seconds. Add the cheddar cheese, salt and pepper, mix well, then cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • When ready to finish the gratin, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix the pasta with the cheddar sauce, and transfer the mixture to a 6-cup gratin dish. Sprinkle the tomato on top of the pasta and sauce. Combine the Parmesan and paprika in a small bowl, and sprinkle the mixture on the pasta. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, until the gratin is bubbly and nicely browned on top. Serve immediately.
  • Note: If making the gratin at the last moment, and assembling it while the sauce and pasta are both hot, do not bake the gratin. Instead, place it under a hot broiler until golden brown on top.

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 during the cooking process.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. It should be firm but not hard and still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use the best quality pasta, cheese, and vegetables you can find.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the pasta or sautéing the vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and properly.
  • Season to taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. This may include adding more salt, pepper, or herbs.
